Work 1 hour a week, or more, to create a safe after-school environment for middle school through high school youth. Work with "peer volunteer" support from our fabulous Lindbergh High volunteers. You can mentor, help with homework, bring a drama or music program to the center, provide art lessons or crafting, provide reading or other tutoring, work on sports skills, or just "hang out",
Your volunteering helps youth achieve academic success, encourages essential team skills and creates bonds between young people and their community members. We focus primarily on middle and high school age youth. In particular, middle school aged youth who are often left to fend for themselves after school and may have little or no structure at home. Over time we will create an environment that is an invaluable resource for young people, aspiring mentors and the community at large.
