Do you support educational equity? Are you looking for a way to serve your community but can’t seem to find the time in your busy schedule? LUCY Outreach's Afteschool Program needs volunteer tutors and offers a meaningful way for you to give back with for 1-3 hours a week!
LUCY Outreach is a Camden based nonprofit that serves Camden youth through a variety of educational, social, spiritual, and service-oriented programming. Our afterchool program works with students grades 5th-10th and runs Monday-Friday 2:30-5:30pm. We currently serve students from 10+ schools in Camden, all of whom are students of color and live in or around Camden County. All of our students have unique academic needs and goals that we want to help them meet!
For an hour each day from 3:30-4:30PM we emphasize a quiet, homework study space for youth to get school work complete, or get ahead in school by working on reading, writing, or math activities.
This is when you come in! We need dedicated and caring tutors like you to tutor students and foster meaningful mentoring and tutoring relationships.
No teaching experience is necessary- not only do we train our volunteers to be effective tutors, we provide our volunteers with the tools they need to make a difference!

Monday - Friday 2:30-5:30 PM
2:30-3:30 PM - Student arrival and snack

Mission Statement
We offer multi-lingual, culturally sensitive services to low income Camden County youth and young adults ages 12-25 and their families. We accept and welcome all to take part in educational, social, spiritual and service‑oriented programming. We empower youth to form healthy relationships, make good choices, and develop into compassionate and socially responsible adults who make a positive difference in their community. We address all environmental systems that impact the youth -- their home life, peers, schools, and neighborhood environment -- with appropriate programs, resources, and support.
Description
LUCY Outreach was established to address the particular challenges and setbacks-teen delinquency, gang and drug recruitment and involvement, substance abuse in the home, teen pregnancy, a struggling public school system-faced by urban youth growing up in America’s poorest and most dangerous city. In recognizing the critical role that each system-homes, families, schools, neighborhoods and friends-plays in a youth’s world, we seek to enhance their quality of life by filling the void of positive programming, by encouraging participants to work within their community, and by providing community services, resources, and support.
