Want to make a difference in the lives of children, adolescents, and families? Want to give back to the community and meet other interesting people along the way? Join the Friends of Walker!
Friends of Walker is a group of dedicated individuals that supports the programs of Walker through volunteering and fundraising. Friends of Walker also provides its members with many opportunities to network, develop new skills, and have a great time while helping increase public awareness of Walker. Members work within the community to highlight the great work Walker is doing for severely at-risk children, troubled adolescents, and their families.
This exciting group of professionals meets regularly to:
- Volunteer: Plan and attend activities with the children at The Walker School on the Walker Needham campus. Some activities you can share with Walker kids include sports and games, baking, and arts and crafts.
- Socialize: Friends of Walker is a great way to make new friends and professional contacts as you spend time with interesting Walker supporters from throughout the Greater Boston area.
- Raise Money: Help organize and participate in fundraising events with proceeds supporting the programs of Walker. Each year, Friends of Walker organizes a basketball tournament and a Boston harbor cruise, and we have even more projects in the works!
Don't miss the fifth annual B-ball Bonanza, a 3-on-3 basketball tournament with proceeds to benefit the children and families at Walker.
