How Do We Manage?
We are delighted to have volunteers who help us in many areas at the Boys Home
of the South. Our current volunteer opportunities include tutoring after school,
working with the horse program, aiding the teacher in the Charles Aiken Academy
during school hours, helping in our office which includes categorizing donated
items and clerical help, organizing in the clothes closet, and other opportunities
that happen on an as-needed basis. Also, we invite you to volunteer using your
special skills and talents to enhance a boy’s life. If you can teach a skill,
give art or music lessons, work with crafts, or any special talent you can share
-–give us a call!
As with all agencies that work with children, we must have you fill out our Volunteer
Information Form before involvement with the children. We ask, if possible, that
you bring this completed form to the Boys Home and talk with Susan Spitzer, Volunteer
Coordinator, about how you would like to help. Call 243-3443, extension 123 to
set up a time with Susan
.
Adopt-a-Project: We need your help with special projects at the Boys Home of the South. If you
personally can volunteer, get your Sunday School Class or a group from work to
help us on a specific project, it is so greatly appreciated! Some of our projects
are painting the office hallway, small building projects, Boy Scouts, taking a
group of boys on an outing, sponsoring a picnic or pizza party, and many more
one-time needs. Again, call Taressa Hill at 243-3443 ext. 108

Birthday List:
Every child deserves to feel special and appreciated, especially on their birthday.
Right now we have a very special need for people to join us in seeing that we
can make this happen for the children here at the Boys Home of the South. At this
time we have several very faithful volunteers who bring birthday cakes and send
cards for the boys on their birthdays and for this we are so thankful. However,
we have no funding available at this time to be able to give them even a small
gift to honor them on their special day.
Please prayerfully consider helping us provide each boy with a gift to open on
his birthday. If you are interested in this exciting new program, you can send
a donation and designate it specifically for the "Birthday Fund." As always, we
are so grateful to all of you who help us make a difference in the lives of these
children!
