The Amherst Youth Department, located in the Harlem Road Community Center, is seeking volunteers to assist in after school child care programs. Students, retired seniors and others willing to participate are needed to help with homework, crafts, games, and general supervision of children ages 5-11. Volunteers for the After School Child Care Program must meet the NYS Office of Children and Family Services eligibility requirements. Special event volunteers are needed to help plan events such as the Amherst Dusk to Dawn Relay Challenge, as well as perform tasks during these events.
For further information on general volunteer opportunities, contact Antonella Covelli, Director of Volunteers at 631.7201.

Members are appointed by the Amherst Town Board for three-year terms, and participate in decisions affecting programming, policies, funding and public relations for youth programs and services. Shorter terms for youth are also available.
