Model UN is booming this year! We have double the amount of participants that we did last year, and while this is great we are in need of some pagers.

Paging is a simple job at the MUN conferences that involves running notes to and from delegates. They also assist the chairs from time to time. We are asking our JAGS students first and if we do not receive enough volunteers, then we will be asking key club members. Be on the lookout for these conferences throughout the year, they are a great way to earn some service hours while having fun at a MUN conference!

The Wilderness Center-Enchanted Forest Event

# data[].attributes.body
We’re looking for enthusiastic, skilled, individuals to help us bring the Enchanted Forest to life on October 9th/10th! Interested students should complete the Volunteer Interest Form below.

https://secure.wildernesscenter.org/forms/enchanted-forest-2026

Guests arrive at twilight and are warmly greeted by a quiet "Firefly" with a lantern who leads them into the forest along a trail lined with friendly, glowing jack-o-lanterns.

We need volunteers to help carve pumpkins on October 8th. As well as to serve as Firefly guides for our guests and act as Woodland Characters* for the Enchanted Forest on October 9th/10th

Last year we we’re thrilled to welcome several students as volunteers in all capacities!  The student volunteers were incredibly reliable, flexible, courteous, and professional. Those who participated in speaking roles as nocturnal characters and those with silent roles, who guided guests around the trail, were greatly appreciated! We truly could not have held this event without the help of these amazing volunteers! And we’d love to welcome them again!

Last year we had multiple students participate in this role--especially those in Speech and Debate.

Each character’s script is about 3 minutes long

Also, to give some idea of the commitment level, a Saturday afternoon character shift can expect to perform ~20 times for groups of ~20 people from 4:00 to 7:00 pm.

The Wilderness Center supplies the scripts and costumes.

Enchanted Forest runs in 1 nonstop shift on Friday, October 9th, 6:30 – 9:30 pm, and in 2 shifts on Saturday, October 10th, approximately 4:00 – 7:00 and 6:30 - 9:30 pm.  Most character volunteers choose to work 1 shift.  Volunteers need to arrive before their shift in the Enchanted Forest officially begins, and we’ll know those details a little closer to the event.  We’ll have food and beverages for our volunteers to enjoy after the Saturday afternoon shift and before the evening shifts on both days. Thank you!

You may not be aware of this, but most of the staff at our movies and events are volunteers who give of their time and energy to make sure that Palace happenings go off without a hitch. Some of them have been around for many years; they almost seem like part of the Palace’s history. Many are new to Canton or to the downtown scene and were just desiring a way to give back to the community and get connected to Canton’s glorious past and exciting future. Regardless, all of these hardworking, generous and energetic individuals are part of the story of keeping our Theatre going.

Volunteers are needed every weekend (Thursday-Sunday) and occasionally during the week, depending on the event schedule. Shifts usually begin at 6:30 PM, and generally last for 2-3 hours.

Volunteer Opportunities with Beacon Charitable Pharmacy

Beacon Charitable Pharmacy is proud to be the only full-time, freestanding charitable pharmacy in Northeast Ohio. Volunteers are the heart of our mission, we simply could not do what we do without the dedication, compassion, and generosity of those who choose to serve alongside us.

For the past three years, we have partnered with juniors from Massillon High School, offering students with an interest in healthcare the opportunity to volunteer and learn firsthand about community-based care. Through this enriching collaboration, students gain exposure to the importance of equitable access to medications and pharmaceutical education. We’re proud to share that several of our student volunteers have gone on to pursue and complete pharmacy degrees, a testament to the power of early, meaningful engagement.

In addition to volunteer opportunities, Beacon also accepts donations of unused, unexpired medications (excluding all narcotics). If you have medications, you no longer need, please consider donating them to Beacon. We will ensure they are safely dispensed to individuals in our community who cannot otherwise afford the prescriptions they need to manage their health and live with dignity.

To learn more about Beacon and our mission, please visit www.beaconpharmacy.org. If you are interested in volunteering or donating medication, we would love to hear from you. Email us at info@beaconpharmacy.org or call 330-445-1087 to speak with a team member.

Our hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Evening and Saturday volunteer opportunities are available by appointment.

Volunteer orientation is held every Saturday at the Shelter at 11am and or Sunday’s at 1:45pm. In 2019. You could also assist them in continuing their educational presentations in local schools and pet therapy programs in area nursing homes. They have many volunteers that come in the shelter to walk the dogs, spend time one on one with the cats, bathe puppies, or simply give the animals in the shelter extra love and attention. Some of these volunteers come in for an hour, others spend all day; what extra time they have they give to the pets of the Stark County Humane Society. Volunteers under the age of 18 must have their parent/legal guardian sign a waiver prior to volunteering.
