School days for STHFG are organized around a natural set of routines. Weekends are less structured. Saturdays can sometimes feel very closed in for residents who do not have passes for family visitations or enough points for an earned outing.

Volunteers are needed. This is an excellent opportunity to touch the lives of young women and help them build toward independent living. “What can I do?” you might ask. Think of any of your interests, gifts and talents a young person might enjoy.

Perhaps you have ideas of your own, but here are some ideas to think about.

1. Hair design (braiding and beading)
2. Making jewelry
3. Exercise routines for life – at home with little or no equip.
4. Voice coaching
5. Reading music, basic piano
6. Creative ways to organize space
7. Ideas for home businesses
8. Cake design, decorating
9. Planning a theme party
10. Spa day (especially for manicures and pedicures)
11. Any seasonal crafts
12. Painting or drawing techniques
13. Facial clinics – how to care for skin
14. Scrapbooking techniques
15. Making gift baskets for presents and centerpieces
16. Basic mending, sewing, crocheting, and knitting for beginners
17. Developing a personal resume or portfolio
