The “Jennifer
Sherwood Kids Helping Kids Program” -
This program was named after Jennifer Sherwood, who came
to us in 2002 after answering an online request for volunteers
needed. Jennifer, who now attends Princeton University,
attended Trinity Christian High School in Addison, Texas.
While attending high school, Jennifer played basketball
and always got involved in the community. She prides herself
on being a faithful Christian who enjoys serving others. |
This program
exemplifies the true heart that communities need from others
when they volunteer. The program gives kids ages 8 and under
a chance to interact,
have fun and work on their motor skills as they learn how to play basketball.
We offer thirty minutes of free basketball training once, and in some cases
twice per week during the summer months for two or three weeks at a time. Only
current and former students who have successfully completed a 10-week session
with our trainers and who are in good academic standing are allowed to volunteer
in this program. Prior to being accepted into the program, students must submit
a one page written essay on why they want to work with kids. Also, middle school
and high school students are given community service hours for their participation.

Operation Clean Up – A newly created program
which is offered to boys and girls throughout the community who need community
service hours. Generally we allow volunteers to come in and provide general cleaning
by cleaning the gym floor (wet mop), cleaning bathrooms and locker rooms, dusting,
changing light bulbs, vacuuming, light lifting, window cleaning, painting (when
needed) and mowing the exterior grounds. Please see our calendar for our volunteer
needs and dates. |
