Volunteers - Rehoboth Christian School

Volunteers

Interested in volunteering? We would love to have you! Rehoboth has a variety of needs, both ongoing and immediate. Our ongoing needs are with tutoring and food service. An immediate need is for plumbers! Still interested? Please call Deanna (contact info listed below) and she will send out an informational packet and answer any questions you may have. We try to set up housing and work according to your needs and talents, as well as the needs of the school.

The generous gifts of time, talent and love from our volunteers greatly benefit the staff and the children of Rehoboth Christian School. We appreciate your interest in and care of our school!

TYPES OF WORK
Rehoboth has a sprawling campus with many buildings and facilities. We are responsible for our own electrical, gas, water and sewer systems. Maintenance, remodeling, electrical work, plumbing and help with special projects are always needed. Some work may include small carpentry projects (book shelves, cabinets, etc), minor repairs on plumbing and electrical appliances, landscaping (tree pruning, weeding, etc.), demolition, concrete work, minor bus and car repairs and various other projects as needed.

Food Service
Working in the kitchen includes helping prepare, serve and clean up lunch that is served daily to students, staff and volunteers. This is a wonderful opportunity to interact with the students on a daily basis. You’ll also get to enjoy the friendly kitchen staff who always appreciate extra hands! With volunteers in the kitchen, we are able to be more creative with our meals…better food is made when there are more hands to help prepare it!

Tutoring
This includes a variety of activities such as reading with students, helping them with homework or special projects or giving general guidance in their studies. Some volunteers are asked to substitute teach, depending on their background and comfort level with teaching.

Office Work
Office work can include helping with mass mailings, data entry, inventory, and general paper filing and sorting.

Miscellaneous
There are various other projects that volunteers participate in at Rehoboth such as nursing duties, facility cleaning, and helping with sports events and school programs. We try to match any specialized skills with work that needs to be done.

Volunteer Reflections:

"We have been volunteers at Rehoboth for the past 7 years. It has been a special time in our lives as we saw a friendly, hard working, dedicated staff and volunteers seeking to show the love of Jesus in their lives and passing it on to others. There are many different needs on the campus. I help in the elementary school, working with great teachers and staff. It is such a joy working with the Navajo children and sharing their excitement to learn. Ken works in the maintenance department helping to keep the buildings in good condition by painting and helping with repairs. We call Rehoboth our second home as we work on a campus that teems with energy and some great basketball games!"

-Ken and Mickie Kleinheksel

"As time has gone on, we have come to realize that we were spending time with our extended family [at Rehoboth], that is, the family of God as it is so richly represented in the varied ethnicity that makes up the community. It truly reflects the vast richness and diversity that is the Family of God. We feel blessed to be a part of it."

-Mart and Mary Hollebeek
