ORGANIZATION: TRUE LACROSSE FOUNDATION

The True Foundation is seeking volunteers to support our after-school programming in the Austin community on Chicago’s West Side. As a volunteer, you’ll work alongside True Foundation staff to guide students through a 60-minute tutoring session, followed by a 70-minute introductory lacrosse session that emphasizes camaraderie, mentorship, and a love for the game.

You can choose the days, age groups, and programming areas that best match your expertise-tutoring, coaching, or both-as well as the frequency of your involvement.

Volunteering is one of the most impactful ways to support these students-creating opportunities, building relationships, and inspiring young minds, all while making a lasting difference. Together, we can introduce lacrosse to this community for the first time and help shape its future.
