There are three main ways to make a difference at CitySquash: 1) squash coaching, 2) tutoring at homework help sessions, 3) one-on-one tutoring.
SQUASH COACHING: CitySquash needs volunteers to help out at squash practices, tournaments, and events. Squash volunteers will recieve an email every Tuesday detailing the upcoming volunteer opprotunities for the month. Squash volunteers pick and choose their volunteer schedule for any given week.
TUTORING AT HOMEWORK HELP SESSIONS: CitySquash’s middle and high school students attend mandatory homework help sessions on weekday afternoons at Fordham. During these sessions, volunteers work with students individually and in small groups. This volunteer opportunity is a weekly commitment.
ONE ON ONE TUTORING: Volunteers may also tutor elementary, middle, and high school students in our Learning Center at the CitySquash office located on 187th and Arthur Avenue in the Bronx. Students that need extra help with their studies are paired with a volunteer for an hour a week. One-on-one tutoring allows volunteer and student to form a bond that can profoundly impact the student (and volunteer's) life. You should by no means limit yourself to one student if you would like to be a one-on-one tutor for multiple students!

Mission Statement
CitySquash is a not-for-profit after-school enrichment program based in the Bronx at Fordham University. The organization helps motivated and talented young people from economically disadvantaged households in the Bronx fulfill their academic, athletic and personal potential.
Description
Founded in 2002, CitySquash is a youth development program based in the Bronx at Fordham University. We help motivated youth from at-risk backgrounds fulfill their academic, athletic and personal potential. For our 140 elementary, middle, high school and college students, CitySquash is an intensive, year-round commitment that starts as early as 3rd grade and lasts through college graduation.
Our programming includes squash, tutoring, mentoring, community service, travel, high school placement, college prep and more. CitySquashers play squash and receive academic tutoring on Fordham University's Bronx campus, in the neighborhood where most CitySquashers live and go to school. CitySquash's Learning Center, three blocks from Fordham's campus on 187th Street, is the site of individual tutoring sessions and classes. On weekends, team members practice, study, compete in tournaments, take cultural field trips and do community service. In the summer, CitySquash runs an academic and squash camp and sends team members to sleep-away wilderness, academic and squash camps.
