Volunteer Opportunities

Polar Express Volunteers:

​

The Annual Kid Time Polar Express Celebration is taking on a different form this year - it’s gone VIRTUAL!  Check out the details at https://www.kid-time.org/polar-express-event.

We still need volunteers to help create the magic. This year we will be providing a virtual Polar Express experience combined with a holiday take home box! All volunteers receive Polar Express boxes for your whole family.  Masks are required any time volunteers are on-site at Kid Time and the Ivy School.  On-site volunteers must be 12 or older.  Volunteers under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.  All tasks are eligible for community service hours. Contact Kristi at  Kristi@kid-time.org or 541-772-9922 for inquiries and questions.

• Help decorate for the celebration - December 18th from 3 to 7 PM.  We’ll be putting up inflatables, trees and other decorations to create a holiday wonderland on the school grounds. Dress for the cold - this is outside.  Hot cocoa and snacks provided. Sign-up for one or multiple hours at https://forms.gle/HxeDRhvSDAEtaGdx8.

• Help hand-out Polar Express boxes - December 19th - 22nd from 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM.  Come in your most spirited holiday garb to present boxes to awaiting families.  This is outside so dress warm.  Sign-up for one or multiple hours/days at https://forms.gle/HxeDRhvSDAEtaGdx8. There are limited positions for each hour.

• Help take down decorations - December 23rd from 10 AM to 1 PM. We’ll be taking down the inflatables and other decorations on the school grounds. Dress for the cold - this is outside.  Hot cocoa and snacks provided. Sign-up for one or multiple hours at https://forms.gle/HxeDRhvSDAEtaGdx8.

• Help assemble Polar Express boxes. Times and dates are to be determined over the next few weeks.  We are waiting for components for the boxes.  Contact Kristi@kid-time.org for more information and to sign-up.

January Work Party - Planting bulbs & trimming roses:

​

Help Kid Time Children's Museum and The Ivy School plant daffodil and tulip bulbs. These bulbs will provide a nice flower show in the spring and future years.  We will also be trimming back the historic roses to help them provide a beautiful healthy flower show this coming summer.

Saturday - January 16 from 10 AM to 2 PM. Sign up for 1 or multiple hours.

Bring your mask (required) and gloves. We will provide tools, drinks and snacks. Dress for dirt and the weather - it could be chilly.  Optional items - water bottle, favorite trowel. We will be following social distancing protocol.

Sign up at https://forms.gle/TLM91dK5nTFRrVTU8. Contact for more information.

School projects, internships or practicums:

We are able to host a student for high school and college projects.  Each project is approved on a case by case basis.  If you have a project proposal or need practicum hours then contact Kristi Reynolds at kristi@kid-time.org.
