Volunteers would assist SA Youth's summer program staff with facilitating activities and games. Activities are academic and range from math, english, science and art. Volunteers would not only help with activities but will serve as role models to the youth in our program.
The summer program runs from 8AM-5PM, Monday-Friday. Volunteers are not required to be in attendance for every weekday or th full hours but we strongly recommend having a set schedule.

About SA Youth

PO Box 7844, San Antonio, TX 78207, US
Mission Statement
To develop the character, strengths, talents and skills of San Antonio's high-risk urban youth through fun, safe experiences, positive learning environments, and holistic programs that inspire each individual to fulfill their potential personally and in the community.
Description
SA Youth's prime focus is helping young people achieve academic success, develop their character, and promote healthy lifestyles. We operate several out-of-school sites for school-age youth and one alternate campus and training center for young adults ages 16-24 who have left the traditional school system. SA Youth's OST program takes place after school and during the summer for youth between the ages of 5 and 13. Our site locations operate four to five hours during the school year and up to ten hours over the summer and select school holidays. SA Youth provides a safe place, caring adults, and positive youth development programs during the out-of-school time hours when juvenile delinquency and other risky behaviors can occur. Our YouthBuild program provides unemployed high school dropouts, ages 16-24, a second chance to recover a high school diploma or GED while learning marketable skills at the same time. Members are directed through structured online and class-based curriculum. At SA Youth, we create a safe environment where young adults are free to learn; where everyone is valued, guided, and taught leadership qualities, which directly enhances their growth in self-confidence.
