Volunteer Job Description: After School Homework Helpers
Many of the communities we serve lack vital resources that families need to be successful and thrive. The tools for educational success are often not available to the children we serve. Using volunteers to assist elementary age students with their homework is one way that we can maximize our ability to provide a safety net for these students. In as little as two hours a week, a volunteer can make a significant difference in the life of a child, by assisting with assignments, projects, and getting to know the children we serve.
