Reilly’s Philanthropy Boot Camp

Reilly's Philanthropy Boot Camp was developed by a group of dedicated professional volunteers who shared one passion; teaching youth the value of giving back to their community. A 15 week curriculum-based philanthropy program was developed and in Spring of 2009, Reilly Foundation partnered with Valparaiso High School to pilot this 15 week program as a positive option to after school detention class as well as open enrollment. After such a successful pilot, we will host ongoing sessions at Valparaiso High School and expand to Portage High School for the 2009/2010 year. 

If you have a passion for teaching high school aged students how to get involved in their community, please volunteer your time!

We have a training day set for September 19, 2009 from 8am-4:30pm, Purdue North Central Valparaiso Campus, 600 Vale Park Road, Valparaiso, In. 46383.  No teaching experience is necessary.  Reilly Foundation will give you all of the tools necessary to teach your lesson. For session information, time commitment, and to sign up, please contact Michelle Bush by email at contact@reillycbushfoundation.org or by phone at 219/746-3768.
