Youth Program Volunteers

In order to maintain staff, client and volunteer safety during the COVID-19 public health crisis, volunteer opportunities for this program are currently on hold.

Academic tutors and classroom assistants are needed to help our teens aging out of the foster care system with the development of educational and independent living skills at our Real World Job Development Center. If you enjoy working with teens and young adults and have professional/educational work experience, please consider these satisfying volunteer roles.

Academic tutors and classroom assistants assist the Real World Education Coordinator with instructional support in order to meet the needs of students, ages 16-24 enrolled in the online high school and GED program. A 3-5 hour commitment one day per week is required.

Academic Tutors

The tutors will help develop lesson plans that correlate with the students’ academic levels, provide individual tutoring and complete basic needs assessments. Volunteers with an aptitude for math are especially needed.

Classroom Assistants

In order to maintain staff, client and volunteer safety during the COVID-19 public health crisis, volunteer opportunities for this program are currently on hold.
