Giving Back to Boise
At Aveda Institute Boise, we think that giving back to our local community is the best way to help our community thrive. Doing volunteer and charity work always makes us feel better, so we like to encourage our students and neighbors to go out and do as much as they can for everyone around them. We also offer our students the opportunity to give back during school with volunteer options and participation in fun activities like cut-a-thons.
Here are a few things you can do in Boise, Idaho to help your local community.
People for Pets
You can volunteer to help dogs or cats at the Idaho Humane Society. Volunteer to help pets in need. You can brush, wash, or cuddle a pet who needs a friend! Find out how to sign up here.
Volunteer to Help Refugees
You can help a refugee learn English! ESL beginnerβs classes need teachers to help practice the language. The CSI Refugee Programs offer training on how to be a good ESL teacher. Check out their event page for more info on signing up.
