Communities In Schools (CIS) of Federal Way is looking for caring adults who are interested in becoming a volunteer mentor. A Volunteer Mentor serves as an adult friend and positive role model for student in grades 5 – 12 within the Federal Way School District. A mentor and student meet for at least 45 minutes per week at a school-based location with a minimum commitment of one school year. The CIS mentoring program is not an academic tutoring program. Although mentors may help students with homework assignments or questions related to school work, the primary goal of the mentor is to show a sincere interest in the success of the student and to establish a caring mentor-mentee relationship… Because schools can’t do it alone.

For more Information, please visit our website (www.cisfederalway.org) and/or contact Talya Silver, Mentor Program Coordinator at 253-528-0847 or talyas@federalwaychamber.com).

Volunteer Chore Services
Volunteer Drivers Needed!   Many Elders and Adults living with disabilities go without much needed medical treatments due to the simple lack of transportation!  We are looking for volunteer drivers who would be available once or twice per week to help transport these individuals to/from medical appointments and pharmacies.  Volunteers must be available on weekdays for approximately 2 hours each trip.  This is an ongoing opportunity and we are very happy to work around your schedule!  Mileage is reimbursed at .44 per mile.  For additional information, please contact Kizzie Funkhouser at 253-850-2509 or KizzieF@ccsww.org, or visit the Volunteer Chore Services website at www.ccsww.org/vcs.

Group Opportunity!  Living in their own home, an elderly, disabled family is much in need of a good cleaning!  Ms B is legally blind, living with limited mobility, and the primary caregiver for her disabled grandson who lives with her.  Vacuuming, carpet cleaning, floor scrubbing, kitchen washing are all very needed to help this family live in a healthy environment.  Outdoor assistance would also be a blessing, including raking, pruning and weeding if the weather permits!   Household does have several pets, so volunteers with allergies be prepared. For additional information, please contact Kizzie Funkhouser at 253-850-2509 or KizzieF@ccsww.org, or visit the Volunteer Chore Services website at www.ccsww.org/vcs.
