Support Us
Volunteer
Do you have a skill you’d like to share? Can you tutor or offer homework help? Are you interested in providing a positive role model for our community’s teens?
The PORT welcomes the support of community volunteers. Perhaps you’d like to join our Adult Advisory Committee, to help with fundraising, grant-writing, or community education. Or maybe you’d rather spend time working with teens as an event chaperone or an after-school tutor.
If you are interested in volunteering with The PORT, contact us.
Make a Cash Donation
In order to ensure that our teen center continues to survive, we are dependent on community financial support to match our student fund-raising activities and grant appeals. Any contributions help finance PORT activities, defray operating costs, and support our professional staff.
The PORT is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, and all donations are tax-deductible. If you are interested in supporting us financially, please contact Sarah Davenport or call (207) 869-1036.
