Help drive students to academic sessions and other enriching events!
ORGANIZATION: YOUNG EISNER SCHOLARS
Please visit the new page to apply.
We work with middle school students from more than 10 schools around the Los Angeles area (including the South Bay, Downtown, East L.A., Boyle Heights, and the San Fernando Valley). Most of our weekend programming, however, takes place at our main office located on the Lennox Middle School campus. We are always in need of drivers to help bring students to our Lennox location for sessions and activities, and then take them home afterwards. Our greatest need is for help transporting students to and from Saturday morning sessions and events.
