Program Description

We are looking for volunteers who are interested in working with underprivileged children between one and 12 years old. Volunteers will assist in building a structured and fun afterschool atmosphere while forging ties with the local community. Volunteers will brainstorm engaging activities like theater, dance, technology, and English classes. Volunteers may also have to act as tutors and help students with their homework.
