Needs and Opportunties at A Wider Circle


Come work with A Wider Circle this Saturday, February 4th. Help move donated beds so that DC residents will have places to sleep in their homes and apartments!

This Saturday, as part of a special event with corporate partner First Finish, A Wider Circle is getting three floors of beds from a local hotel and they need volunteers to work either 8:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. or 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. to help them load and unload the beds.  If you want to help, please email Anne Thompson.

A Wider Circle also needs volunteers for their educational jobs programs. Here are a few ways you can help:

We are looking for a few good cooks!
We need volunteers to provide dinner for one or more classes. The classes will take place in A Wider Circle's new classroom on Tuesday evenings; dinner would need to arrive by 6:15 and serve 20-30 people.  You can provide all or part of the dinners!

Good with children?
We are also looking for volunteers to help out with childcare during classes, Tuesdays from 6:00-8:00 pm, on-site at A Wider Circle.  Volunteers help with homework, play games, and help serve dinner to the children while their parent(s) attend(s) class.  In addition to childcare for the adult education, we will be having a formal reading program for children on Tuesday evenings, so volunteers to read with children will also be helpful.

Interested in providing one-on-one support?
We need volunteers willing to work with adults to format résumés, practice interviewing, and search for jobs during and/or outside of class time.

For more information, or to sign up, please contact Marian Cooper at: Marian@awidercircle.org
