Teen Connects offers stand-alone service projects and fun outings roughly once a month for 6th-12th graders looking for more volunteer experience. Many opportunities will be free, while others may carry a small fee. Whether you are looking to participate just once or regularly, we are excited for any teen to join us as we make a difference, and make friends!
Service Project: Veterans Day Outreach Project, Engaging Public in Making Thank-You Cards at First Friday Art Walk in Downtown Bend
Are you a local teen looking to volunteer or earn some service hours? Join us for a fun evening at Safeway in Bend (Century Drive). We'll be setting up and hosting a table, engaging passersby to make simple, thoughtful thank-you cards for U.S. veterans. One week later, Camp Fire Afterschool Youth will distribute these cards to vets during Bend's Annual Veterans Day Parade. This service project helps engage the public in this thank-you effort, plus ensures we have plenty of cards to hand out for the parade.
Volunteer Youth Care: Kids Night Out in Bend, Helping Run and Manage Activities With Kids While During Downtown Bend's Ladies Night Out

Taking place during Ladies Night Out, this event gives parents and guardians a chance to enjoy Downtown Bend without the kids in tow...and we'll be serving up a super fun evening, taking care of their kiddos.
