Volunteer

Make a difference in a young person’s life by volunteering with Lake Erie Ink.

If you like creative writing, have a story to share, a skill to teach, a subject you know a lot about, then we need you!  Lake Erie Ink relies on volunteers, ages 15 and up, to work with participants in our programs.

Volunteering at Lake Erie Ink is an ideal way to share your strengths and skills with young people in our community, gain valuable experience, and even meet service requirements at your school or university.

Volunteer opportunities are available for:

  • After school homework help Mon-Thurs 3:00-5:30
  • Evening and weekend creative writing workshops
  • Summer creative expression camps
  • In-school writing support
  • Publications and other media

All volunteers must fill out a volunteer application and provide two recommendations. Volunteers over 18 years old must complete a background check. Please fill out the application below to get started!

.

In addition to the application, please have two people (not related to you) complete a recommendation form. The form is available to be filled out online or as a downloadable pdf. If you have any questions, please contact us!
