Lend a hand

When you volunteer at RAFT, you give more than just your time, and the experience you gain is worth every minute. RAFT attracts the best people-and each person has a direct impact on the quality of our children's education. As a RAFT volunteer, you can be involved on many levels:

1. Working alongside other volunteers to help unpack, sort, and prepare a variety of donated materials.
2. Coordinating tasks, groups, and events.
3. Demonstrating a hands-on learning kit.

The team building opportunities at RAFT create a vital connection between our business and educational communities. We welcome volunteers with diverse backgrounds and experience to join RAFT and support hands-on learning. Donate your time on weekdays, evenings, and/or Saturdays.
