TRAC
is a one stop resource for current and former foster
youth. We are a transition center that helps them find a
job, locate affordable housing, learn valuable life
skills and offers support in their transition to
independence. Interested in helping out? There are a
number of ways to volunteer your time and efforts and
get involved with TRAC, please take a look at the list.
If something interests you, contact Katie Anderson at 214.370.9300 x27
or email
her for more information.
For more information, or
to be contacted about volunteer opportunities, please
fill out our Volunteer Interest
Form.
For all volunteer positions there
is an application process and background check that must
be completed and cleared by the State prior to working
with TRAC youth.
Be a
Mentor
Who in your life saw your
potential? Who recognized your strengths? Who showed you
a better way to do things or think about a problem? Who
encouraged you to explore beyond your limits? Who
challenged you because they believed in who you could
become? For many of us, that was our family. For some, it
may have been the neighbor or a teacher. These people
are our mentors.
Mentors are people who
choose to be our friends, coaches, cheerleaders,
confidants, advisors, and tutors. They choose to spend
time with us, with no strings attached, because they
care. If you care, contact TRAC!
Lunchtime Hostess
Lunchtime Hostesses commit to providing healthy meals to
be served to TRAC youth while they wait to meet with
their Case Manager or Job Coach. Volunteers are
needed to prepare and provide nutritious meals for
approximately 30 youth. Meals are served on
Thursdays and should be delivered, ready to eat around
noon. This is a great opportunity for a small
group or professional organization.
PAL Class Aide
Our PAL Class Aides
assist the facilitator in delivering class lessons to the
youth. Bi-lingual skills are a plus, but not necessary. We
need individuals who are patient and can assist the
youth with comprehension of material, as well as answer
questions and work through problems with them.
Special Event
Volunteer
Throughout the year, TRAC
needs volunteer to assist with special events for the
youth. These include our annual College Kick-off
Party, the Regional Teen Conference and our Holiday
Party. Opportunities include: serving meals,
helping with programming, speaking engagements and
organizing and preparing "kits" for the youth.
