Y-COP of Mount Vernon is recruiting volunteers to staff its Saturday Fun Day program for children. The organization requires adults to manage a structured environment for youth ages 5 to 13. Participants will assist with dance, arts and crafts, Bingo, jump rope, and karaoke. The first scheduled event occurs on Saturday, November 14, from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Volunteers handle the physical setup of activity stations before the children arrive. During the event, they guide the kids through various games and creative tasks. Their primary goal is to ensure every participant stays engaged and has a positive experience. After the activities conclude, the same group assists with breaking down the equipment and cleaning the space.
The program welcomes teen volunteers provided they accompany a parent or other adult. This arrangement allows younger volunteers to contribute while maintaining supervision. The organization operates this initiative every Saturday in Mount Vernon. It provides a consistent weekly option for local families to occupy their children in a safe setting.
Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson is simultaneously seeking new members for its Board of Directors. The group looks for individuals willing to commit to three-year terms. Board members guide the organization's direction and oversee its corporate business and governance. Candidates must be at least 18 years old to serve in this capacity.
Burke Rehabilitation Hospital in White Plains is also seeking phone volunteers. These individuals answer incoming calls for the Food and Nutrition Services Department. Volunteers record the caller's name, contact information, and message. They then communicate these details directly to the hospital staff. Shifts run from 12:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday with a flexible schedule. Applicants must be 18 or older.
All three opportunities are currently open for application through Volunteer New York. The Y-COP event in Mount Vernon begins this coming Saturday. The Girl Scouts board and Burke Hospital phone roles operate on ongoing schedules. These positions offer residents in the Lower Hudson Valley various ways to contribute their time to local organizations.
