Stream of Dreams Murals Society is offering a free summer program for Indigenous children ages 6-12. We are looking for volunteers ages 14+ to help us deliver these programs on any of these dates:
November 16 30 
December 23, 27, 30
January 2, 3

Each camp runs from 9 am to 3 pm, with volunteer help needed from 8 am to 4 pm
Location: Our office! 6825 Cariboo Road, Burnaby
Accessible by the Millenium line of the Skytrain, about a 10 minute walk from the Production Way/University stop. Also bus # 101 comes right by our place.

These camps are free programs for Indigenous children to learn about the natural environment and Traditional Ecological Knowledge from a variety of Indigenous representatives. Volunteers help out with set up of tables, chairs and other supplies, as well as preparing snacks like veggies and fruit, and also watching children. We have 15 children maximum, and these camps will be based indoors but also have outdoor activities. Each day will be for either 6-8 year olds or 9-12 year olds.
Volunteers are welcome to help out just for a half day with these programs as well.

Each shift is from 8 am to 4 pm outdoors at our office on Burnaby Lake. 

Interested volunteers will need to provide a recent (6 months or newer) criminal record check for the vulnerable sector. Let us know if you need a record check and we will provide a letter for your application that will waive the fee. 

If this sounds like something you want to be part of please sign up and we'll send along more information.
Why should you volunteer for this opportunity?
Gain experience working with children and high school volunteer hours if needed. We are happy to write a letter of recommendation as well.
This will also be a fun opportunity to learn about Indigenous culture through crafts and games for yourselves!
