VOLUNTEERS
Our volunteers help in many ways, but due to COVID, they haven’t worked as much as in the past. Volunteers supervise the children, serve meals and snacks, play games, teach specialty classes. They have also supported building and grounds maintenance and writing grants. We appreciate everything they do to help support Youth Club of Trinidad to transform lives of children and build their futures.
