Education, Children & Youth

DESCRIPTION AND MISSION

Adventure Club is an enrichment based before & after school program based at elementary schools in the Columbia Public School District. All programs are licensed by the state of Missouri . We provide hands-on educational and recreational activities for children in a safe and caring environment. Adventure Club's purpose is to enhance the growth and development of children, families, staff and the communities we serve.

ACTIVITIES:

Activities performed by the service learner include working with children ages 5-12 in an afterschool setting by playing games, doing crafts and other projects, and similar. A service project will be expected, once the service learner has gotten to know the program and the children's interests.  Orientation is held when the volunteer arrives at site for the first time.

SPECIAL EMPHASIS AND SKILLS:

Child Enrichment Activities, Youth Emphasis, Elementary School Emphasis, Youth Development, Family Assistance

REQUIREMENTS:

Licensing now requires that volunteers have eligibility letters showing they passed a series of background searches (a fingerprint search, a name search, and any out-of-state searches required) before they can begin at our program.  Hopefully, it will only take a week or two, but time required largely depends upon how quickly volunteers can get the paperwork and fingerprints completed.  Certain paperwork is required of Columbia Public Schools, as well.  There will be a Google form to complete, a hard copy of a form, and another fingerprinting to be done. 

 

Volunteers will need to be responsible for the costs.  This should be about $105, plus any out-of-state searches for those who have lived outside MO in the last five years. 

 

Amy Gaffney will send volunteers the detailed info on getting this done when they express interest in volunteering with us.  We will do all we can to move through the steps quickly and get people into our sites.
