We have an URGENT need for volunteers to lead or assist in activities for the final two weeks of our summer program, 8/10-8/20, Monday through Friday.
We are a non-profit organization dedicated to serving the low-income families of Northern Virginia. We are currently holding a summer program that the children of these families can attend (at a very low-cost) everyday while their parents or guardians are at work. We play games, teach weekly themes, give them a hot meal for lunch, and have fun with these kids!
Volunteers will be working with a great group of approximately 20 elementary-age children. We would love for volunteers to share any special interests they might have (such as sports, yoga, dance, martial arts, drama and singing) with the children.
Volunteers can choose what day(s) and shift(s) they would like to commit to within the hours of 7:00am and 6:00pm.

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. To facilitate this movement, CENV offers one-to-one mentoring, tutoring, adult education workshops, leadership training, and much more. These services empower personal growth, support academic success and educate people toward developing self-sufficiency.
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
