Community Service & Outings Volunteers

Save to Favorites

The Santa Barbara School of Squash (SBSOS) is an after-school program for low-income kids in Santa Barbara. We combine the sport of squash with academics, community service, cultural outings and tournaments. We are hosted by the Santa Barbara Athletic Club, the SB YMCA and the Davis Rec Center at the corner of De la Vina and W. Victoria Street.

SBSOS currently has 33 students in the program. We are a small organization but we go a mile deep with each student. Our mission is that all our students be college bound or that they have a good plan in place for their future. We are not a drop-in program and we are year around. We have a lot of our students' time and we work to provide them with opportunities to reach their potential.

SBSOS is part of a national organization, National Urban Squash & Education Association (NUSEA), and as such we are required to follow best practices set forth by NUSEA. Each studentn in the program must complet 100 hours of academics, 100 hours of squash instruction and a minimum of 15 hours of community service. We also have enrichment and cultural outings, hikes, fun outings, etc.

We are looking for individuals that are available to help chaperone service projects and outings. We have a number of volunteers but always need more. If you enjoy being an important part of the lives of children - this is a fantastic opportunity to flex your volunteer muscles!
