Some of our Volunteer Position Descriptions:

Mentoring
Mentoring focuses on providing Club members with emotional support while dealing with family struggles, behavioral issues, etc. As a mentor, you will talk with Club members about career exploration, post-secondary education, drug and alcohol abuse prevention and self-esteem issues. The mentoring program can be done in an individual or group setting and requires that you meet with your mentee at least once a week.

Students get homework help through an intense two to three hour afterschool program. Members read by themselves, to other children, listen to a mentor read, or read to a mentor for 20 minutes, or answer questions.
