CommonBond is a great place to volunteer. The staff are helpful, and friendly. I have been able to work with the same student for four years in a row, and it's been a great experience.

I am so impressed with Common Bond's approach to strengthening and empowering families. The services they provide help families feel secure. I am part of the Study Buddies program where I can offer my time to help someone become a better reader and a better student. Common Bond provides a lesson plan and I offer my time. Now I have a bond with a student and we have discovered that we have lots in common: laughing, drawing, and reading to name a few!

Commonbond is a great organization for helping people holistically. I personally volunteer in the homework center, which is an after school program to make sure students are getting their school work done and give extra help in subjects like reading and math. This is my second year volunteering and I come back because it is convenient and rewarding. Volunteering in my busy schedule is easy, because the commitment can be as low as my one and a half hours a week.

Timings haven't worked for me to volunteer here yet, but I keep an eye on them!

CommonBond Communities is a great place to volunteer and impact a student's life. The staff at the towers are friendly and love to see the residents succeed. There are many volunteer opportunities here; study buddies, adult and senior ed, summer fun programs, etc.
