As the world leader in volunteerism we feel a responsibility to unite our broader community, and to use this moment to learn from one another, to grow, and to become stronger.
See below to access our COVID-19 Resource Hub, and to explore our growing directory of both COVID-19-specific and virtual volunteering opportunities.
During the school year students need extra support to do well in school. Teen and adult volunteers are needed from 3:30pm-5:30pm Monday through Thursday. Programming is also available for teen and adult volunteers Saturdays from 8:30am-12:00pm. Simple training is required. Minimum of 6-8 sessions is required but regular participation is encouraged for the students to get to know the tutors/ teachers.
This is a very fun and engaging experience for not only the students, but for volunteers as well! Volunteers tutor students on math, reading and writing, but also helping with hands on experiments and art activities.
Beacon Place is inspiring and guiding our neighborhood’s children and families toward a brighter tomorrow.
