Why are you a part of the Flagship volunteering team?
Originally I volunteered for a class project, but I really enjoyed being a positive influence in the kids lives and making a difference for them.
Do you have a favorite memory from volunteering with Flagship?
My favorite memory is the pizza party we had at the end of MCAT where we watched all of the movies we had made that semester.
Please tell a positive experience you’ve had volunteering with Flagship?
A positive experience I've had volunteering at Flagship is seeing the students confidence grow each week, specifically in regards to sharing ideas and creating movie plots. During the first week of the program, they were shy and afraid to express their ideas. After a few weeks, their personalities really started to shine through and their movie ideas flourished.
What do you enjoy the most about volunteering with Flagship?
Getting to know the kids and seeing their personalities grow each semester.
What has surprised you most about volunteering with Flagship?
I was scared of middle schoolers before volunteering and was surprised to find that they are not as scary as I thought they were.
What do you wish other people knew about Flagship?
How much of a positive impact it can have on your life as well as the students.
What did you first notice/first impression when you starting volunteering?
The broad spectrum of programs available and the students excitement to be a part of them.
What would be people be most surprised to learn about you?
I am obsessed with Harry Potter
What do you do when you’re not volunteering?
I am a senior at The University of Montana completing my management and marketing degree.

"The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest intention."
~Oscar Wilde With over 2,000 Missoula youth participating in Flagship every year the gift of time given by volunteers in our community is what keeps Flagship afloat!
The Flagship Program recruits volunteers to lead or assist in afterschool and summer activities. To be a volunteer with Flagship means to commit to spending one day a week, more if you are able, after school from 3-5:30 pm working with students in a school setting. Volunteering with Flagship is a wonderful opportunity to be a positive adult mentor to youth in our community. Next step to becoming a volunteer with Flagship: contact us! We will set up an interview for you with one of our youth development coordinators. The forms below will be available for you to complete at your interview, or download and complete them now and bring them to the interview. Our Flagship youth development coordinators will work with you to ensure that your placement will accommodate your schedule and your comfort level of volunteer leadership. Each volunteer is required to attend the Instructor Training before beginning Flagship. We hope to hear from you soon! |
