USA VOLUNTARY
Community Center Volunteers: We need volunteers to staff White Horse, Dupree, Iron Lightning, Isabel, LaPlant, and Swift Bird. The community centers in all of our communities with the exception of Dupree and Eagle Butte are the only source of consistent structured after school activities which include homework time, craft time, game and sports time, movie night on Friday night, and special day trips or activities. Each center is equipped with a computer from the Drug Elimination Program, which may be the only one in that community. The roads are dirt roads, and during inclimate weather are impassable. Each center, which is a HUD house leased to the Sioux YMCA has a library/homework room, a craft area, a game area, a kitchen, bathroom, and 1 bedroom used by the volunteer to live in during their service.

Under the direction of the all Lakota Board of Directors and the training and supervision of an experienced, professional YMCA staff, volunteers are recruited from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds and broad geographic areas, locally, nationally, and internationally. These community volunteers live in the small, remote communities, providing tutoring during and after school, developing leadership skills in the youth and adults, acting as healthy lifestyle role models, and providing fun, safe, and supervised activities as an alternative to risky behaviors. But the volunteers by themselves cannot increase the quality of life. Volunteers encourage and support community members to become mentors and get involved with youth activities. Telephone (605) 365-5232 or fax (605) 365-5230. Contact Michael J. Burgett, Executive Director, General Convention of Sioux YMCAs, PO Box 218, Dupree, SD 57623.

AUSTRALIA VARIOUS
The Visitoz Scheme. Website: www.visitoz.org 
We have rural jobs in Australia for anyone who has a Working Holiday Visa and is looking for a challenge for up to one year. Sheep and cattle stations, farms and rural hospitality enterprises cannot recruit staff from the local Australian population - because there is nothing for them to spend their money on. This is ideal for backpackers because they can save all their money, to spend it later on a good holiday on the Reef, exploring, or doing the 1001 other things young people like to do with surf, sea and sand. All jobs are paid at the Award (Union negotiated) wage, food and accommodation are also supplied free of charge. We particularly need: good horse riders; machinery drivers, ie. tractors, dozers; teachers; hospitality workers of all sorts; cooks and chefs; farm workers; and anyone ready for something different who would like to learn some new skills. Contact Visitoz in the UK on wdtb@aol.com or in Australia on visitozscheme@bigpond.com
