ORGANIZATION: Sumner Teen Center
Please visit the new page to apply.
Retired Teachers needed as mentors in the areas of Math and Spanish as tutors. Sumner Teen Center provides free assistance to area middle and high school students and can use teachers in all areas, however the above areas are subjects where we have had requests for help. We can locate students who need help in any subject, then set up an appointment schedule for instruction based on your schedule. Volunteers would only come in if students have set up an appointment for when the volunteer is available. If no students claim appointment, the volunteer would not need to report. Center hours are 2-7 Tue-Fri, and students are dismissed from school between 3-3:15. We require a volunteer application which will involve a background check.

Description
We lead the next generation of warriors, and the battle they face is the battle of the mind!
Growing trends in teen homelessness, unemployment, mental health struggles and even suicide have prompted us to study the root of the problem. Most of the time, it is a sense of hopelessness. Too many teens do not see their full potential. They are bullied and even programmed by society to think that they have no worth. When it gets really bad, they do not have the brain development to see the possibility of hope.
We've learned that hope is a sense of self, safety and community. This is where our warrior is found! In 2020 we are helping teens to find their inner warrior. WAR PAINT Whether for battle or celebration, the painted face of the warrior is unique to the individual. STC uses art as a means of self-expression, healing and fun. ARMOR The warrior's armor is designed for battle. It protects the warrior's weakest parts. The armor we build is that of confidence, skills and wit. TRIBE A warrior does not go into battle alone. He is supported by his tribe. They find a tribe here at STC. We are artists, gamers, actors, athletes and activists.
Be a part of the movement to change the way we teach the next generation...the generation that will take care of us one of these days!
