Volunteer Form
Thank you for your interest in getting involved with WITS. We offer several volunteer opportunities outlined below. Please complete this simple questionnaire so that we may best direct you. If you have any questions related to volunteering, please reach out to gisselle@wellnessintheschools.org.
WITS labs are hands-on in classroom cooking lessons that teach nutrition, seasonality, and of course cooking. WITS lab volunteers typically help to support the WITS chef by helping to hand out ingredients and tools to students. They also help to clean during and between classes. Depending on the age group, volunteers can also assist with hand on activities like helping a 1st grader slice a cucumber.
Our Family Fitness Fun Nights (FFFNs) are a school carnival of fitness where we invite our school community to join in and get active. Our FFFN volunteers typically help at the sign in table, facilitate the transitions of groups between activities (zumba, yoga, basketball, etc) and help to make sure our kiddos stay hydrated.
