We urgently seek dedicated individuals to work with a great group of children at an after-school program in Sterling, VA. Volunteers in this position take on the leadership roles of helping with homework and facilitating group games, arts and crafts, sports, and many other enriching experiences!
Our after-school program provides children with nutritious snacks, homework assistance, and engaging activities. In order to make this program the best that it can be, we hope that positive role models like you will consider guiding these children through homework and activities! This is a very FUN and meaningful opportunity to encourage children to thrive. :)
You can decide what day(s) and timeframe(s) work best for you within the available hours of 2:30 pm until 6:00 pm, Monday-Friday. You are also welcome to focus on leading certain types of activities, if you have preferences.
If you believe you have the ability to spread some joy into a child's life, we would love to hear from you! We welcome help from caring and passionate individuals from all walks of life, including students and retirees.
Thanks so much!

Mission Statement
Community Empowerment Northern Virginia (CENV) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with this core belief: when one plants a S.E.E.D. by Strengthening, Educating, Empowering and Developing, strong communities will grow.

Description
Today’s society is challenged by an increasingly difficult world. Family problems, substance abuse, economic pressure, and the lure of gangs and delinquency threaten our youth physically and emotionally. Community Empowerment Northern Virginia is dedicated to providing community-based services that support, guide and inspire people to build life skills required to become resilient, self-sufficient adults. Using adult and peer mentoring to provide positive role models and promote skill development, Community Empowerment Northern Virginia strives to help build self-acceptance, strengthen school performance, and enhance executive functioning.
By providing people with positive role models in the community, Community Empowerment seeks to achieve the following objectives:
- Provide people with a vital sense of belonging
- Give people a sense that the greater community also cares about them
- Move people forward on their way to conscious and self-sufficient adulthood
- Support people on their journey to discover their true potential
- Provide people with access to the resources necessary to achieve social and academic success
- Help more people graduate high school and move on to higher education that supports their dreams
- Create an array of services that complement the web of services already existing in our communities
- Educate and empower parents and families to be more involved in family and community growth
