Looking to impact future leaders? This is the perfect opportunity for volunteers looking to develop a deep connection with students outside the classroom.
It's an awesome opportunity to work with some amazing kids from around the world as they continue to learn English and general subjects. We need a volunteer to come in and help mentor and guide these students. We are a nonprofit academy dedicated to serving the at risk, refugee, and immigrant population in the Charlotte area. We educate, empower and enrich our students with a tuition free, holistic education addressing the whole child: educationally, nutritionally, emotionally, socially and experientially . If you are available mornings or afternoons to help one to a few days a week we would love to meet you! We are located in East Charlotte.
