Save to Favorites

Volunteer at the Lanier Family Resource Center! Lanier Early College High School is a community school. As part of our school, we have a Family Resource Center where we are able to provide wraparound family services and adult education. We look forward to working with you!


Here are a few of the options available:
Event volunteers:

• An event volunteer helps out at different FRC events, such as Futbol Rapido Resource Fair, Coats for Kids, Blue Santa, fan distribution, community planning meetings or Thanksgiving.
• Great for volunteers who need evening or weekend volunteer opportunities.
• Anyone can be an event volunteer, all ages, availability levels, languages, and roles in the community welcome.

• A mentor meets on a regular basis with a student
• Great for committed, responsible adult volunteers. Great for people who live or work in the area.
• They can be a career mentor or a supportive mentor depending on their interest and comfort level
• Welcome to register through APIE at the FRC

• English: A tutor can sign up for either Friday tutoring for the early college students
• Spanish: they can be a GPA tutor at 2:30pm on a day they prefer
• Cannot be afraid to tutor college students
• Welcome to register for APIE at FRC

• These volunteers come to the FRC and help make personal invitations via the phone about different events in the community
• This is a great role for someone who wants to volunteer on a regular or semi-regular basis.
• Great for someone who wants to make their own volunteer schedule.
• Someone who wants to do this role but either does not speak Spanish or cannot come into the FRC can volunteer by helping to pass out flyers in the community

• This person assists with data entry
• Great for first year social work students who need their 40 volunteer hours, computer science or information science students who want to learn more about non-profits
• English speaking volunteers are great for this role, as the data system itself is in English.

• Assists office staff with any administrative help they might need.
• Good for anyone who likes office type work.
• Also good if they want to make their own schedule and can work during the school day

• Helps with putting up flyers in the neighborhood, passing out flyers to cars in the pickup line, shredding documents and organizing FRC
• Great for a first year social work student who needs their 40 hours. Ideally this is combined with being an ETO volunteer.
• If shredding or otherwise seeing personal information, a non-community member would be most appropriate

• After being one of the other volunteer types, a volunteer leader can create their own role with the assistance of the FRC director.
• This also includes anyone who would like to be a leader of volunteers, for example running a phone tree, or being the head of a group of volunteers at an event
• If none of the above volunteer roles work for a potential volunteer, they can also work with the FRC director and other staff to come up with a good fit. Volunteers who want to do this should come with ideas, but be understanding of the needs of the organization and community
