• Student Volunteer Options

    Volunteering is a great way to gain skills, improve college applications, explore career options, and more importantly, support your community. Remember to balance your available time with commitments for school work, family needs, and employment. Visit this webpage and Jackson's Career Center (in library) for information about volunteering opportunities. Below are current, virtual, and some in-person volunteer options:

     

    • IslandWood, Brightwater Education Center (Woodinville) Summer Camps
      • Join our VOL (Volunteers in Outdoor Leadership) program, an unpaid volunteer opportunity for local high school students to support camps and gain outdoor leadership and education skills.
      • Up to 35 hours per week with a minimum two week commitment. 

        • At the Brightwater Education Center in Woodinville, our summer camps are a chance for volunteers to work with youth, receive mentorship from experienced environmental educators, and spend time outside. IslandWood, an outdoor education non-profit, aims to inspire lifelong learning and environmental and community stewardship. In IslandWood Summer Programs, a volunteer can expect to develop skills in working with children, strengthen interpersonal skills, practice creativity, and work in a professional, educational setting. Although this opportunity is unpaid, volunteers can receive up to 80 hours* of community service credit from IslandWood.
