Assistance League of Diablo Valley’s Assisteens Seek Volunteers

Assisteens^®, an auxiliary of Assistance League^® of Diablo Valley, is now accepting applications from tweens and teens who will be entering grades 7-12 in the fall of 2018. Assisteens Auxiliary currently represents 17 schools in our local community.

Assisteens commit to a minimum of 35 volunteer hours per year. Activities include philanthropic community service programs, fundraising, monthly meetings and special events. As a result, Assisteens learn the value of volunteerism while developing leadership and organizational skills.

One fundraiser involves a fashion show. The Assisteens’ Eighth Annual Fashion Show and Tea took place on Saturday, March 3, at Fireside Room in Rossmoor from 1-3:30. Assisteens gathered items for Opportunity Baskets and organized a Silent Auction. They also prepared and served scones, sandwiches and sweets along with plenty of tea. Additionally, they modeled fashions provided by the Assistance League Way Side Inn Thrift Shop, the well-known landmark and primary fundraising arm located in Lafayette. After members of the senior class modeled prom dresses, all concluded the afternoon with a parade.

You could be a part of this. Assisteens Auxiliary invites tweens and teens not only to join but to bring a friend. Think about it! The deadline for applications is September 30. To learn more, please visit this website: diablovalley.assistanceleague.org, then click on “Assisteens.”
