In-School Volunteer for Students Impacted by Incarceration Parkrose High School

The PATHfinder Club (TPC) creates, oversees and supports clubs that meet weekly throughout the academic year in high schools. TPC was created to support students who have been impacted incarceration, deportation and detention. Most club members have parents and/or other loved ones who are or have been incarcerated; some students have been incarcerated themselves; and a number of students have family members who have been detained and/or deported. Needless to say, these students face a significant amount of stigma and loss. But in TPC clubs, students begin to recognize their own resilience while building supportive relationships with their peers. The TPC curriculum encourages students to find and use their voices in conversation, writing, artwork, and other types of creative expression.

TPC is looking for volunteers for Parkrose High School meetings, theses meetings are held once week on Thursday after school. This opportunity will start in Fall 2023 and continue through the end of the academic year.
