Volunteer

From day one, volunteers have built what is now one of the best places for teens in the River Bend area – and volunteers are essential to support the ongoing operations of the iMerge Community Center.

Help us continue to provide teens with a fun, safe, positive environment. Whether it’s volunteering to help with teaching workshops like art, crafts, or music, serving on our Board of Directors, becoming a chaperone for Friday Open Play and Middle School Dances, or helping out with maintenance projects, we can use your help!

The possibilities are endless in the ways we can utilize your skills! If you would like to Volunteer, we are always looking for people to:

  • Teach a Class – such as painting and drawing, billiards, ping pong, computer sciences, robotics and electronics, videography and photography, or anything you would like to teach.
  • Lend a Hand – you can help out other volunteers who are teaching, watch over the kids while they play games and work on crafts, help out at the concession stand, and monitor the play areas.
  • Chaperone Events – help us keep an eye on the students who attend events such as Friday Open Play and Middle School Dances.
  • Lead an Activity, Event, or Program – If you have the time and ability, we would love for you to run an activity, event, or program. You can pick up something we already have planned or you can throw something together that fits your unique skills and talents.

If you cannot volunteer, which we understand, perhaps you could make a donation:

  • Watch for the needs – for many activities we have specific materials and supplies we need, such as arts and crafts supplies. We might also need food donations such as cookies, snack cakes, or pizzas. Whatever you can give makes these kids’ day!
  • We give out prizes – from time to time, we try to give out prizes. You could donate any type of small or large electronic prize or sports ball. Whatever you can donate to keep these kids interested, and coming back to our safe, fun, and educational facility is fantastic!
  • Furniture and supplies – we go through a ton of supplies such as paper towels, cups, table game equipment (such as ping pong balls), and cleaning supplies.
  • Check out our Wishlist – for some ideas of our usual supplies costs, you can check out our Amazon Wishlist.

And as always, we are extremely grateful to those who volunteer and make donations. We truly could not do it without you.

Student Volunteers

Whether you are a student or an adult, we could use your help. However, we limit the number of student volunteers we have at each event. Student volunteers will not serve as chaperones, but rather work as the setup or clean-up crew, assistants to Program Leaders and Event Coordinators, and other tasks as assigned by the Center staff.

All Student Volunteers are now required to sign up in advance of an event. If you are interested in volunteering for an upcoming Friday Open Play or Middle School Dance, please complete an application and contact [email protected].
