Mentors & Volunteers

BECOME A MENTOR WITH GOODWILL 

Mentoring After-school Program for Success

At MAPS we like to have fun! We facilitate interactive, age appropriate games and activities for youth in grades 3-6 at two Spokane elementary schools, Holmes and Roosevelt. Through these fun activities students and mentors develop friendships while improving their problem solving skills, increasing their social skills, and expanding upon their communication skills.

Join us after school one day per week for the academic year. You choose Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursdays from 3:00pm to 4:00pm.

We are accepting applications for volunteer mentors ages 15 to 115. Mentoring with MAPS is fun, it helps students develop important life skills, and it looks great on your resume!

  Hope for a New Tomorrow

In collaboration with Goodwill Industries of the Inland Northwest and Spokane County community agencies, Hope for a New Tomorrow provides high caliber volunteer mentors to support and guide previously incarcerated adults as they transition into the community, helping them become successful in their personal and workplace lives.

95% of prison inmates re-enter our communities and 2/3 will return to prison – together we can increase the safety of our community by assisting them to become the productive people, responsible parents and good neighbors we know they can be… you can be a part of the solution!

"We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give - be a mentor"

BE A GOODWILL VOLUNTEER

Is your service group, business, or school looking for a rewarding opportunity to lend your time and hands to a worthy cause? Consider volunteering for Goodwill.

We have experience organizing one-time work days at our facilities such as this group of students from Whitworth University, who cleared the area for the entrance to our new child care center.

Sometimes groups wish to assist us with a corporate donation drive. A donation drive is held annually at Huckleberry's Natural Market. Events such as these are fun and important. Quality donated goods are Goodwill's life blood.
