Volunteer
Lend a helping hand as a volunteer in Charleston!
WINGS is happy and honored to welcome a variety of individual volunteers to support our Charleston programs: high school students, retirees, local business people, and all other members of the community looking to get involved with a local organization.
Volunteering at WINGS
We welcome program volunteers to help in the following areas:
Support kids
- Assist with Academic Center | Provide homework help, play STEM-related games, or support kids that need more individualized attention
- Play during Freeplay | Lead group activities or engage with kids who might be more interested in one-on-one games
- Become a WINGS Companion | Mentor 1-3 kids on a consistent basis by helping to reinforce social emotional lessons and act as a positive role model
SUPPORT STAFF
- Assist during daily community-wide dinner
- Provide Spanish translation
- Help with special / family events
Volunteers support our program Monday through Friday between 3:00-6:00 PM. You can sign-up to volunteer at a frequency that works for you – one time, once a week, or once a month. No experience or special skills required beyond a big, open heart to share with our amazing kids!
