SunFest is Florida's largest music, art & waterfront festival held APril 27th - May 7th in downtown West Palm Beach. Every year we have hundreds of student volunteers who earn community service credit helping with a variety of tasks.

To access volunteer opportunities, go to "Team Sunfest" at www.sunfest@sunfest.com. A schedule of orientation meetings and volunteer activities will be listed.

Serving more than 13,000 children each year, our purpose is to inspire and enable young people, ages 7-18, especially those from challenging circumstances, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens. Boys and Girls Club offers a wide range of volunteer opportunities, year round, every day of the year. Teen volunteers, at least 16 years old, can assist at special public events, and help with bulk mailings or other office work during weekdays or some Saturday mornings. Groups of volunteers are welcome for special projects, mass mailings, fundraisers and other projects.

Looking for volunteers to staff our Thrift Store in Tequesta on Saturdays and during the summer. Store hours are from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and we are open Wednesday through Saturday. Choose your hours and be part of an exciting team that partners with people in need, building affordable homes in our community. Responsibilities include pricing stock, cash register, answering the phone and helping customers as needed. With the profits from our store, we are able to continue our mission helping people in need. Volunteers are also needed for construction sites (must be 16 years or older). Construction will begin at the end of September 2004 and continue through the school year.

Broward County Teen Court is designed to prepare youths for tomorrow's challenges. Many volunteer positions are available for teens aged 13 years and older.

Teens can assist with preparing boxes with food, sorting clothing or toys for the thrift shop between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on weekdays only. However, if you, your team of Volunteens, or your school would like to sponsor a food drive, please call Sandy Sharp at (954) 627-6900 for more information. Not only will you be helping those in need but also every food drive is highlighted in our newsletter, which is sent to all of donors and community partners.
