CharlotTEEN Volunteering!
Summer is here!!! It's time to get a head start on volunteer hours for next school year and spend your summer days making an impact in your community through service with CharlotTEEN!
How to Get Involved
Throughout the year CharlotTEEN offers a variety of service projects and special events exclusively for teens! Our volunteers learn about relevant community issues, and participate in service projects which address relevant community issues. In order to accomodate the busy lives of most students, our service opportunities are accessible and flexible. In order to participate in CharlotTEEN service projects, students do NOT need to attend an orientation, and they do NOT need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Our steps to volunteering are as easy as 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5!
To join the fun and start volunteering with other teenagers from the Charlotte area:
1. Register with Hands On Charlotte!
2. Sign in to your account.
3. Search through our upcoming projects and find one that interests you (find more information on the project calendar). You will instantly receive an email confirmation for projects that you sign up for, and a few days prior to the day of the project you will receive an email with directions and instructions.
4. Bring a signed Youth Volunteer Waiver Form with you to your first event (also available on the project description page). If you have a community service confirmation form that needs to be signed for school requirements or club participation, please bring it with you as well.
5. Have fun serving your community and meeting new friends!
Note: Please do NOT sign up for projects that you cannot attend. If you are signed up for a project that you cannot attend, please remove yourself immediately so that another volunteer may take your place.
Leadership Opportunities
If you are interested in leadership development, please consider applying for the CharlotTEEN Youth Advisory Board! This group has the responsibility of planning and leading projects, forming committees to organize events, electing representative officers, working to design service learning curriculum, and engaging in conversation to raise awareness about issues confronting the Greater Charlotte community. If you are interested in joining us, please download and complete a Youth Advisory Board Application.
