Provide children with the opportunity to participate in fun activities that support the development of strong social skills and creativity. Kids Club at Girard is a safe and enjoyable space where children get to be creative, bond with caring adults, and be themselves! Kids Club is located in a shelter for families experiencing homelessness.
We expect to see 10-15 youth daily, and we try to schedule 5-10 volunteers. Not only is this a great opportunity to work with young children, but it also provides support for their parents who are engaged in ongoing educational opportunities. Volunteers are encouraged to initiate projects and ways to engage youth. Program is held Thursdays, 5:30-6:30pm. Minimum volunteer age is 14.
Specific Tasks: 1. Maintain a safe environment for the children, enforcing program expectations.
2. Work individually or in small groups on engaging activities such as: arts and crafts, reading, role playing, and games.
3. Help children with homework, as needed.
4. Clean-up at the conclusion of Kids Club (put materials away, sweep/mop, etc.)

Mission Statement
Community of Hope's mission is to improve health and end family homelessness to make Washington, DC more equitable. Our vision is that everyone in Washington, DC has good health, a stable home, family-sustaining income, and a hope-filled future.
Description
Community of Hope has worked tirelessly for over four decades to impact the future for people in under-resourced communities and families experiencing homelessness in Washington, DC. With the help of our community of donors, volunteers and partners, Community of Hope stays focused on its strategic goals.
End homelessness for families in Washington, DC.
Through our four housing programs, we keep families - all along the continuum of homelessness - safe with a roof over their heads. Our case managers give our families the support they need at the most pivotal times and link them to resources such as job referrals, counseling and mentoring programs for their children.
Improve health and eliminate inequities in health outcomes in under-resourced communities in Washington, DC.
We have three Federally Qualified Health Centers and one community resource hub across the District that meet the medical, dental, and emotional wellness needs of the un- and under-insured. We provide quality, compassionate care and an outstanding patient experience, regardless of insurance or ability to pay. Our health staff engages our patients to keep DC healthy through affordable and accessible healthcare.
With a team of almost 400 compassionate staff, hundreds of volunteers, and thousands of donors, we are building a strong and sustainable organization that is caring for families, improving lives, and leading change.
