Looking for a volunteer opportunity closer to your home or work?

Reach out to one of the schools listed below where 70% or more students are eligible for free and reduced lunch. These schools are often looking for volunteers to fill a wide range of student and school support needs.

You may offer to help in one of the ways described below, but please be open to the most urgent needs the school may present you with:

Classroom or library help: Read or listen to students read in your native language, organize books, prepare materials, tutoring math, and more!
Before and between classes: Help for 30-40min during recess, in the lunchroom, or as students arrive in the morning. Your positive presence will brighten students’ day, help them be safe and on their best behavior.
Lost & found: Offer to organize lost and found items once or twice per month.
Special talents: Schools have many specialized needs. Are you fluent in Spanish, Somali, Vietnamese or Chinese? Can you lend a hand in the learning garden or the robotics club?
