Current Service Opportunities at IPC
Discover service and giving opportunities through IPC that make a difference at our church and in our community. All volunteers with Children or Youth must follow the requirements of the Child & Youth Protection Policy.
Each week, IPC volunteer tutors meet one-on-one with 3rd-graders at Hayes K-8 to help them build confidence and improve their literacy skills. The fall term runs from September 23 to December 17, and volunteers are needed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 3:15 - 4:15 p.m. A scripted, easy-to-follow curriculum is provided, and a background in education is not needed to volunteer. Please reach out to Marion Dukes, Director of the Children's Fresh Air Farm, if you are interested in learning more or signing up.
Looking for meaningful gifts this season? Our IPC Youth are offering holiday cookbooks filled with recipes from our congregation ($25), along with ornaments and sweatshirts. You can pick up or purchase items at the reception desk during the week, shop online, or find the Youth table in the Parlor on December 7, 14, and 21. Online order form coming soon!
