Inland Temporary Homes - Each Tuesday Night, volunteers assist the clients of Inland Temporary Homes by providing much needed companionship and recreation for toddler, kids and teens while their parents attend classes to enhance their parenting skills. Kids are split into age groups where volunteers facilitate age-appropriate arts, crafts, group activities and projects that will enhance the children's social and emotional development. The first hour is spent on the lesson-plan, and the second hour is spent in free play with the children.
