After School Program

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.

Our mission is to empower the children and adults of our community with opportunities to develop their artistic abilities, awaken the imagination, and build self-esteem and confidence.

By building self-awareness, and appreciation of one's own inner creativity and artistic skills, we aim to transform the lives of individuals, improve their academic and economic success and awaken a person's social and civic sense in order to raise the quality of life in our neighborhoods.
