Power of One Volunteer Program
My name is Karen Kessinger and I am the coordinator for the Power of One Volunteer program in Shoreline. In case you aren't familiar, Power of One works with people from the community to volunteer in Shoreline Public Schools. Currently, we have more than 50 active volunteers helping in 12 schools or programs.
As you probably already know, schools can always use more help. Most of our volunteers help at the elementary school level, with everything from reading and small groups to math and lunch time clubs. Having consistent volunteers benefits not only teachers but students who come to know and count on their classroom volunteers.
I would be happy to share more about our program with your organization. Some of your members have been part of the Power of One program-- either as volunteers or educators using volunteers in their classrooms.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best,
Karen Kessinger

4-H Needs You!
Young people involved in 4-H are more likely to go to college, more motivated to help others, and more likely to make healthy choices than kids who are not in 4-H. With more volunteers, we can reach more youth!
Retired school personnel have the skills and the heart needed to make a difference in 4-H today!
Snohomish County supports over seventy 4-H clubs, but very few west of I-5. You could be the change-maker in Lynnwood, Edmonds, Shoreline, or elsewhere. You have already helped many children over the years; go at your own pace in retirement, and keep having an impact.
Different ways to get involved:
To get involved, call or e-mail Beth Wangen, 4-H Volunteer Development Coordinator: 425-357-6005 or beth.wangen@wsu.edu . Learn more about Snohomish County 4-H here: http://extension.wsu.edu/snohomish/4h/

Different ways to get involved:
- Become a 4-H club leader in your neighborhood, at a local school, or to get your grandchildren involved!
- Help once or occasionally as a guest instructor with an existing group of youth (show them how to cook your favorite dish, make a craft, build a robot; teach a gardening or photography skill....)
- Volunteer with a group of adults for just half a day, grading record books (for goal monitoring--in October), evaluating award applications (in July), judging speeches given by youth (several dates in spring)
- Fill a 3-hour service spot at the annual 4-H “train show” fundraiser (selling tickets, stamping hands, monitoring exits, guiding cars in parking lots—late February)
