North Chicago Community Partners (NCCP) needs 50 dedicated and passionate volunteers to support elementary school students in District 187 during our After School Enrichment Program. Volunteers help children with reading, math games, homework, and a variety of fun enrichment activities to foster gross motor skills and social and emotional development. Our staff will work with you to find a placement in one of our classrooms, enabling you to build relationships with the same group of students each week. Be the extra support that we need to expand horizons and provide the attention that each child needs and deserves.
Volunteers are needed on Monday, Tuesday, and/or Thursday afternoons from 3:00-5:00 PM.
"Volunteering for North Chicago Community Partners is my favorite volunteer gig ever! I go every Tuesday from 3-5 to help an amazing facilitator with some amazing 8-year-olds in North Chicago. Due to the pandemic and inequities in education, these kids are behind. I truly feel as though I make a difference every week." - Volunteer who joined in September and has come weekly ever since!
