Here at PTNT, we believe in empowering each other by engaging with the community through our program and inviting volunteers to help support. We would love for you to be a part of our great mission in transforming communities through purposeful relationships.

Bookworm Buddies/Reading
Read with children during program hours at one of our host churches. These opportunities are generally available every Monday – Thursday from 9:30 am-12:00 pm
Dinner with Members
Support our AmeriCorps Members by providing a dinner meal during the summer. These dinners are a great way to be involved as it provides a time and place for church members and/or partners to connect with our AmeriCorps members. These opportunities will generally be available every Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday of the summer.
Family Fun Nights are events that will happen twice at every site this summer. These nights are focused on providing a fun space for all who are involved at PT to engage with one another. Volunteers are often needed for these nights as our teams will look to have different themed games and activities that need assistance in leading. Volunteers may also be asked to help do other things like serving food or help in cleaning or setting up.
TAG Time
Volunteers will have the opportunity to come and lead a T.A.G. (Talk about God) time component to participants. The grade levels the volunteer will lead is 1st-5th, as well as 6th-8th grade. We will have this opportunity at all sites. The time for these components will be from 9:30 am-10:00 am for 1st-5th graders. The time for 6th-8th graders will be from 10:00 am-10:45 am. The lessons will be written. The volunteers will lead the pre-written lesson.
Moving Members
We are seeking enthusiastic volunteers to assist AmeriCorps members with moving their personal belongings from one location to another. Your help will make the transition easier for these dedicated individuals who are working to make a difference in our communities. What’s Involved: Assist with packing, lifting, and transporting items. Help AmeriCorps members settle into their new space.
