Open Gym Volunteer

Shechem at Hope Street is a community center on 26th and Capitol.

Monday-Friday we have adult open gym from 12-3pm. Many young men (usually 18-25) take advantage of the opportunity and the gym fills up.

We are seeking positive role-models to spend time in the gym during this time. Volunteers are encouraged to build relationships with our members/ participants in open gym and act as mentors. Volunteers could join in on basketball games, scorekeep, watch games and talk to those on the sidelines. Volunteers can help keep the gym a positive and safe place free from fighting, cursing, and betting.

Ideally, a volunteer is willing to come once a week, but we are willing to work with you on what works.
