Event Driver
Drivers help transport DCFYI teens to weekend events. Having enough drivers is the only way we are able to ensure all teens who want to can participate with us.
Driving is fun, a great way to volunteer if you can’t commit to mentoring or hosting, and will allow you to get to know individual teens better!
Photographer
Volunteer to photograph one (or more) DCFYI event. We use event photographs to document our activities and to create the photo albums we give every teen at the annual birthday party. Teens love the photos albums. We love that the photos are professional quality.
Help with DCFYI's Annual Fundraiser
Time limited volunteer role and critical to DCFYI's continued existence - join the committee for our annual Establishing Roots fundraiser. We promise not a lot of committee meetings, just some hard work and feeling of accomplishment at the end of a successful evening!
Serve on a DCFYI Committee
We're looking for individuals 21 or older to join Board committees; this is a great way to have a role in making DCFYI a better, stronger organization. Committees that include non-Board members are: board development, communications, finance, and fundraising.
If you're interested in any of these opportunities or would like to learn more, please contact us. Thank you!
Plan or Host a Program Event
Doing an event is a great way to meet some of the DCFYI teens and volunteers and see how the program works. Invite friends to help you and that means more adults who will get to meet the DCFYI teens! Events may include small get-togethers (games, crafts, cooking) for teens and adults (usually around 10 people total) held in someone’s home or other setting an individual makes available to us.
Open Table
Be part of a team that transforms a life: join Open Table to mentor, guide, and champion a young adult as they take the lead in achieving their biggest life goals.
