Conduct vision screenings at Barbara Jordan Elementary!

Kids Vision for Life St. Louis provides free vision services to children, including vision screenings, eye exams, and prescription eyewear for elementary 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 9:00am-1:00pm 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!

Volunteer for Annie's Hope Family Support Groups! (July 2018)

Annie’s Hope - The Bereavement Center for Kids hosts Family Support Groups that welcome children, teens, and adults who are grieving the death of someone significant. Groups meet one night a week for eight weeks and are facilitated by trained volunteers. Annie’s Hope will provide all necessary training. The groups meet from 6:30 - 8:00 pm with typical volunteer time being from 6:00 - 9:00 pm. All newer volunteers will be paired with an experienced volunteer to support them in their facilitation role. At each session, the children and teens are divided into several groups by their age while the adults meet in their own group. Each session is tailored to the group’s developmental level and the struggles the members are encountering. No two group sessions are identical and there will be at least one Family Night during the eight weeks. Topics that may be discussed could include coping skills, feelings, memories, change, communication skills, grief rituals, or other topics that fit the needs of the families. Dates of the July 2018 Family Support Group are listed below. Thursdays July 12th, 19th, 26th August 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th September 6th
