Cypress Assistance Ministries appreciates young
volunteers and the role they play in serving our community! Below are
guidelines for volunteering:

Volunteers 16 yrs & up may
volunteer without adult supervision once they complete the volunteer
application and tour*. No volunteer hours may be completed until these
steps have been taken. Once approved, please call ahead to let us know
when you would like to volunteer.
Hours available for student volunteers are as follows:
Ø
High School students – Mon, Tues or Wed 4pm-6pm (students must work at least
2 hours at a time with a minimum of 5 hours overall)

College students - Mon, Tues or Wed 10-6 and Thurs and Fri
10-3 (college students wishing to serve only 5 hours overall are asked to
complete all 5 hours in one day
Under 16 yrs –

much to offer and there are many opportunities to serve through CAM. For
their safety, children under the age of 16 may not volunteer here at
