We have been tremendously blessed this school year to have 40 after-schoolers. That is A LOT of little people. We are in need of people with willing hearts who are interested in helping children with their homework.
It could be as simple as one day a week helping kindergarten students or if you prefer we can identify students who need assistance and partner you for greater impact. It would be 2 days a week. Times vary but are typically from 3-5:30.
Volunteers can come anytime within that allotted time.
