Would you like to share the excitement of the limitless possibilities of Legos? Through playing and experimenting with Legos, teach the elementary schoolers in our summer camp! These wonderful kids already love building with Legos.
We would especially appreciate volunteers who are eager to connect this enthusiasm to creative and educational experiences! For example, you could create special themes or "challenges" for Lego projects, while talking about basic science and engineering concepts. You are welcome to try as many different ideas about Lego activities as you would like. :)
You can decide what day and timeframe work best for you within the available hours of 3:30 pm - 5:30 pm (or, even until 7:00 pm), Monday - Friday. If you could come for at least 45 minutes, once per week, for at least four weeks, that would be much appreciated.
Thank you very 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. 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
