Lantern Community Services is a homeless services non-profit that helps people who are formerly homeless or have recently aged out of foster care rebuild their lives. We do this through our supportive housing program, which is based on the latest evidence of what provides the most benefit to our clients. Our programs deal with health, employment, education, and life skills and are delivered inside our residences. We have locations in the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Upper Manhattan.
Lantern is currently looking for people who can help out some of our residents, either adults, children, or both, with tutoring/mentoring on a wide variety of different topics, including math, reading, financial planning, English language skills, or anything you think our residents might benefit from knowing! We're open to hearing from a wide variety of people for this position.
While being able to volunteer during the week within normal business hours would be ideal, we can also be flexible on a limited basis, accepting volunteers in the early evenings or on Saturdays.
