OKAS is having a Back 2 School Fair on Saturday, January 5, 2019 at Patterson Park Community Center.
OKAS, Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the needs of the youth in the community. The Back 2 School Fair is designed to provide students with educational, recreational and other extracurricular information and resources. Studies show that children who are involved in extracurricular activities are less likely to be engaged in delinquent and risky behavior. The goal of the Back 2 School Fair is to expose students to opportunities and provide them with resources that will have a positive impact on their self-development. In addition, students will receive free dental screenings, haircuts, and school supplies.
OKAS is looking for youth volunteers to assist with the fair. Youth volunteers are needed the day of the fair, Saturday, January 5, 2019, between the hours of 9am – 3pm. Youth volunteers will assist with setup in preparation of the event, activities during the event, and take down at the conclusion of the event. Also, they are in need of wide-ruled filler paper. For more information or to sign up to volunteer, contact Angela@okasinc.org or 615-904-4493.
