Teen Volunteer Event: The Sleeping Mat Project - Training Session

Monday, July 297:00—8:00 PMYoung Adult AreaAbington Free Library1030 Old York Rd, Abington, PA, 19001

Tweens and teens! Do you crochet? Do you want to help the homeless community? 

We're looking for tween and teen crocheters to help out at our Sleeping Mat Project events in July and August (see below for exact dates). These mats are made out of "plarn" (plastic yarn made from plastic bags). The plarn is crocheted into the mats, which are then given to people experiencing homelessness. By attending this session, you will be trained on how to crochet the plarn so you can help attendees at our future matt-making sessions. Beginner crocheters welcome!

Service hours will be awarded for attending this training session and any future mat-making sessions.
