Become A Volunteer.
KernYes has been successful for several years because of the dedication of the volunteer force. We are thankful for Rotarians and others who have spent their Saturday with an inspiring group of Kern County teens. Please consider joining us for this enriching and fruitful day of learning and personal growth. There are volunteer opportunities for an all day commitment as well as opportunities to assist for part of the day. Here are brief descriptions of the roles we need fulfilled.
*Registration: A short but important commitment. Arrive at 6:30am at CTEC on Old River Road in Bakersfield to check in the students for their day. You’ll be done by 9:30.
*Counselors: There are 4 to 6 Counselors for each of four groups of participants. Counselors guide them through the four enrichment sessions lead by presenters, 2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. At the end of the full day, help the participants to unwind at the dance. This is a crucial volunteer position and the one we most need. This is an all day (7am-10pm) commitment. A background check is required.
*Food Service: We all know how much teens can eat! We have volunteers help with food preparation and service of breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as keep the snack stations stocked. There are shifts available for these positions.
*Security: We just need to be sure no uninvited quests get on site and no teens leave unaccompanied. There are a.m. and p.m. shifts available.
*This and That: There are several miscellaneous tasks needing handled throughout the day. You could be a timer, a messenger, a courier of equipment, etc. It’s all important and all needed. There are shifts available for these positions.
