After School Program Volunteer

The Children of Mine Youth Center Youth Enrichment Program is a free program where students come and receive homework assistance, mentoring, literacy support, arts, crafts, games, and a healthy meal.

As much as afterschool programs need money to stay alive, they also need people. You don’t have to be a teacher or an expert in education, but a caring individual. Parents, students, and anyone with the time to commit to changing the world by helping children succeed are perfect
