Volunteer Facilitators Needed!

Hi everyone! I'm Shannon, and I am the Programming Director for Pizza Klatch! We are gearing up for the 25-26 school year, and we are holding a volunteer training on August 23 and 24. If you've ever considered joining us to help support queer youth in Thurston County, now would be a wonderful time! Some student testimonials about the impact of PK: "Pizza Klatch makes a difference in my week-someone is always there to listen." "Sometimes we have fun, sometimes we talk about stuff that’s hard to talk to other people about." "I can be who I am here." "Pizza Klatch has introduced me to problems at school that need to be fixed." "I love getting a chance to hang out with my friends in a space where I know we won’t be judged for who we are." "It gives me support and it’s a great time to talk about stuff." "I now know people who are in the same place as I am." "I can talk about family problems." "I can get different opinions from different people I barely know." "It is a great place to get to know people and get support in tough things." "I am starting to understand more about being LGBTQ." "Pizza Klatch really helped me to feel happy." "It gives me a safe & fun place to be myself." "Pizza Klatch strengthened my decision to be an ally."

Volunteering with us is a once-weekly commitment for no more than two hours with travel time. Our facilitators run support groups for queer youth in high schools and one middle school in Thurston County. If you aren't sure if you can commit to a regular schedule, we are also looking for substitute facilitators!
