We are looking for adults who are interested in making a meaningful difference in the life of an at-risk youth. Many of our youth come from challenging backgrounds and families that don't have the resources to provide them with enriching opportunities. We are very flexible in terms of time commitment, although during the school year we would need volunteers for after school hours. During the summer more day time hours can be accommodated. All activities must be conducted at any of our five Providence/Warwick/Pawtucket locations.
We are specifically looking for adults who would like to provide tutoring. However, any skills that you might have and want to share such as cooking, music, sports, arts, computers etc. we are open to hearing about and helping facilitate. For us, it's all about the difference ONE CARING ADULT can make in the life of a teen. Thank you for your interest!
