Conduct vision screening at Danforth Elementary

Kids Vision for Life St. Louis provides free vision services to children, including vision screenings, eye exams, and prescription eyewear for elementary, middle, and high school students around the St. Louis area. Our vision is to give students with visual impairments in Title 1 schools free glasses in order to provide the best education possible. We need volunteers to go with us to different schools in the area and conduct vision screenings. We train all volunteers on site, so no previous experience is needed. We do screenings every day at a different school from approximately 9:00am-2:00pm and typically have 8 volunteers a day. Volunteers will get the chance to make a difference in hundreds of children’s lives in just one screening day!

Life Outside Festival

Life Outside is a free festival of the outdoors on Saturday, September 21st on the St. Vincent Greenway. With dozens of partners, we put on this event every year to remove as many barriers as possible to people discovering all that St. Louis has to offer when it comes to living life outside. People can see, try and learn about all the activities, such as paddling, climbing, yoga, birdwatching and much more. We offer free shuttles from around the region, music, food trucks, sunscreen, water, etc. We need volunteers to help make all of this happen! Most of the jobs are at the festival, in St. Vincent County Park. But several volunteer needs are at shuttle stops throughout the region. Many shifts, kinds of jobs and opportunities for all ages at this event. Specific shift details will be emailed once you have expressed interest.
