Safety Town Teen Volunteers 2024

This summer, an exciting and innovative child safety program titled “Safety Town” will once again be offered to kindergarten age children in Cherokee County. Safety Town is a “pint-sized” town which teaches and reinforces safety awareness and prevention procedures to youngsters through a variety of safety activities in the classroom and outdoors in a miniature town. They will practice safety lessons involving strangers, fire, school buses, water, poisons, and much more. Children will experience “hands on” pedestrian and vehicle safety lessons as they ride a child-size vehicle through our miniature town.

Teen Volunteers are needed to assist the teacher, police officers, firefighters, and the children at Safety Town. Two sessions will be offered: Session #1 June 10-14 and Session #2 June 17-21 at Bascomb Elementary School on Wyngate Parkway in Woodstock. The program runs daily from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Volunteers will be accepted on a first come, first served basis. Space is limited.

You are able to volunteer for multiple sessions.

Volunteers must be at least 12 years of age.

Set-up dates will be announced at the training meeting (June 3 from 3-5 pm) for volunteers who are willing to assist in setting up “The Town” and gaining extra service hours.

VOLUNTEER SPOTS FILL QUICKLY, so please be sure to turn in your application before the deadline of May 1st. Notification of volunteer selection will be emailed by May 10th.
