VOLUNTEERS
Each summer we host activities at the Community House that are a treasured feature and tradition in Popponesset. We have many opportunities for children and adult volunteers to join in the fun and help make this summer a success. Please contact us by email or come by the Community House if you’d like to get involved. For a list of this summer’s events you can see the calendar of activities on our website  at: CALENDAR.
 
EMPLOYMENT
Each year we are also able to engage some of our young helpers with greater responsibilities and reward them with compensation for their work. The need for these paid helpers depends on the calendar and how many events and participants we have. Priority for these jobs is given to young people who have shown an interest in helping with House events by volunteering and being involved in previous years.
 
Kids who are interested in paid jobs at the House, please see the link below for hiring guidelines. For more information contact us by email, or by contacting a board member, the House Manager or the Beach Raking Coordinator.
