Become a part of the Portside family and help us build a stronger brighter future for our youth! Portside Arts Center is seeking volunteers to help mentor youth who attend our after school arts program.
Volunteers will work one-on-one with elementary school-age children helping them with their homework and their art projects. Many of our students need extra support and we can't do it alone. We are seeking kind and generous people who believe in the importance of arts and education, and, who truly want to make a difference!
The after school program runs Monday - Friday 4:00pm - 6:00pm, from September 2017 to June 2018.
If you would like to get involved we would love to learn about you and why you would like to help! Volunteers can make their own schedules.
