ABOUT POMONA HOPE

We are a community center in the City of Pomona, California dedicated to forming local partnerships and holistic programs that cultivate meaningful relationships and empower people of all backgrounds, particularly at-promise youth and their families, to work together toward personal and community transformation. Our main program to do this is our after-school program during the regular school year and a summer enrichment program in the summer, where we serve K-12th grade students for free, Monday thru Thursday. At these programs, kids have a strictly structured schedule, where they receive a meal, homework help/study time, and an enrichment workshop.

These workshops may include (depending on age group and day):

• Gym Games/Dance
• STEM
• Garden
• Art
• Language Arts Enrichment
• Reading Groups
• Bible Study
• Homework Help

In the summer program, the structure is very similar with the exception of homework help/study time. Instead, kids receive a variety of educational workshops along with fun activities and field trips. Volunteers are encouraged to commit to at least one consistent day per week (Mon, Tues. & Thurs 2:45-5:30 pm & Wed. 1:45 pm-5:30 pm). Volunteer responsibilities consist of assisting kids with homework, projects during their workshops, and other activities offered in the program. We also have opportunities to be workshop leaders if you have a special skill or subject you would like to teach (i.e., STEM, art, dance, etc.). This opportunity gives you experience working with children in an after-school program setting as well as teaching and lesson planning. For high school students, it provides a great community service opportunity.

Requirements to volunteer are:

1. Watch a volunteer training video, take a quiz based on the video, and fill out a contact/availability form
2. Complete a live scan (fingerprinting)
3. Sign and return a volunteer promise
