Hands-on with Youth or Families:
DRIVER: Drivers are volunteers who help transport children and families that we work with. Unfortunately, they do not have their own means of transportation to get to the places they need to go, so they need your help! If you are interested in helping us with this please fill out this sign up form.
ACHIEVEMENT COACH: Achievement Coaches are volunteers who meet with students, connect with them to figure out what their natural strengths are and help them apply those skills to assisting students in learning the curriculum for their courses. Here’s how to sign up!
