Do you like working with kids?
Come join us for a volunteer adventure with a fantastic group of kids facing tough times. This opportunity is part of the Family Promise Circles program which aims to reduce local poverty by creating a compassionate and dedicated community of support. The kids' program is packed with lessons on social skills, friendship, communication, resiliency, and even handling money like a boss! This program runs parallel with what the adults are learning only way more fun and kid-approved.
Join us every Thursday night in Montclair from 6:30PM to 8:30PM. We are looking for folks who can commit for an on-going basis. However, you would definitely be able to test the waters first to see if it is a good fit for you.
Thanks for your interest. We hope you will join us as we work with a great group of kids and build community to end poverty!
