Volunteer Highlights
Getting involved in a booster group is a great way to support Washougal kids. Contact your local school for more information about the booster group and opportunities to get involved.
“Parent and community involvement makes the magic happen! We are able to bring in special programs, activities, resources, time, and more,” said Kelli Eldridge, Gause Booster President. “We are very proud of the many programs the Boosters have helped to implement at Gause so it’s very difficult to narrow it down to just a couple, however we are very proud of our Mileage Club! This program is an opportunity for kids to run and move their body, make goals, earn tokens for their accomplishments, and help cheer on their peers.”
Read Northwest is in need of volunteers! Dedicated volunteers spend time reading with elementary students at Gause, Hathaway, Cape Horn-Skye and Columbia River Gorge Elementary. The program promotes literacy and an early passion for reading. Applications are accepted year-round, but new volunteers are onboarded annually in September/ October. Apply today!
Volunteer in the Family Community Resource Center & Clothing Closet! Family Community Resource Centers (FCRC) support Washougal families with the resources they need to succeed. Reach out to your local school to learn how you can support the Family Community Resource Center by donating time, non-perishable food, clothing, or hygiene items.
