2007 Kids on the Block-Vermont Board of Directors


Would you like to volunteer with Kids on the Block-Vermont?
There are many ways for the community to get involved:



Puppeteers
Looking for a volunteer opportunity that provides the winning combination of puppets and kids?  Join our puppeteer troupe - no experience needed!  Training in puppetry skills (based on the Japanese art of Bunraku puppetry) is provided throughout the year.  Individuals and groups can schedule a free  training course with our Master Puppeteer.  Puppeteers are asked to perform once a month in schools throughout Vermont.  Volunteers of all ages - high school and up - are welcome.



Board Members
KOBVT is a non-profit agency run by committed board members.  We seek a diverse group of individuals with expertise in business/finance, public relations, planning, and education.  The greatest qualification for potential board members, however, is a desire to help educate children on how to keep themselves safe and healthy and to appreciate each other's physical and cultural differences.



Committee Members
If you have a desire to become involved, but aren't ready for a full board commitment, consider contributing your expertise to one of the following board committees: Nominating,Personnel, Finance, Public Relations/Fundraising, and Development.



Office Volunteers
Located in the heart of Burlington's Old North End, we offer a safe, convenient, and fun environment to host office volunteer workers. Tasks include: data entry; filing, and mailing, and other administrative tasks throughout the year



Participate in Fundraising Activities

Halloween Keepsake Photos:  On October 30th KOBVT takes photos of trick-or-treaters at South Burlington's University Mall.   Volunteers line the children up, help parents fill out order forms, and elicit smiles for the photographer.

Puppets' Choice Award:  This honorary dinner takes place in the spring.  A variety of tasks are available from sending out invitations to cooking spaghetti.  Plus, you can see the puppets perform in their best outfits!

Vermont 50/50 Expos Raffle:  During the summer, come cheer on the Vermont Expos baseball team and help the "kids" at the same time.  Puppets and people work the bleachers to sell 50/50 raffle tickets.  Half of the proceeds go to KOBVT, the other half go to the lucky winner.



Still interested?  Just fill out the form below and KOBVT Staff will respond.  Thanks!
