Are you looking to help children in your community? Looking to gain skills such as leadership, tutoring, and working hands on with students? We have a great opportunity for you to help kids grades K-8 have a fantastic summer!
Phoenix Family works with low-income housing communities and we want you to be a part of our summer programs.
Kids are able to attend summer programs at East Hills Village and have a safe space where they can continue to learn throughout the summer. We focus on keeping our students up on their school work, even when school is out. We need great volunteers who are willing to help throughout the summer with reading, tutoring, and of course having fun!
Our programs run Monday-Thursday 10:00am to 2:00pm. Volunteers are welcome to come for any amount of time, although we recommend a minimum of 4 hours a week. Teens ages 14 and up are able to volunteer without a parent present.
If you are interested in helping, please contact Ellen (eking@phoenixfamily.org) to schedule your training date.
Looking forward to meeting you and having your help this summer!

Mission Statement
Phoenix Family empowers people living in low-income housing communities with the on-site support they need to gain stability and achieve self-sufficiency.
Description
A stable, safe home holds enormous possibilities for a low-income family striving to chart a more secure and hopeful future. With an average household income of just $11,743, Phoenix Family’s residents are often just one crisis away from becoming homeless. And, like millions of low-income individuals across the United States, they need more than housing to build personal and financial assets and overcome barriers to success - they also require services where they live.
Volunteers are vital in helping Phoenix Family reach our mission of helping people and changing lives. Last year, we received support from more than 350 volunteers, but even this is not enough to meet all the needs in our community. Whether you are looking for a seasonal or regular opportunity as an individual or a group, Phoenix Family offers a variety of volunteer opportunities to help our community.
Phoenix Family’s Youth Development, Families First and Senior Empowerment Programs provide those critical on-site services that help residents learn skills and gain perspectives that keep dreams of stability and hope realities for the future.
Phoenix Family’s staff and programs rely on trust, rapport, choice and convenience to engage residents in services. All services delivered are culturally appropriate and based on the desired outcomes of residents, including increased disposable income, increased educational levels, improved health, and strengthened social networks.
