Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteer tutors work with individual or small groups of children on academic areas in which the children need additional help such as reading, math, and spelling. Volunteers will work with teachers or Adaptive Behavior Specialists to set goals for each child at each tutoring session.
Volunteer mentors interact with students on a one-on-one or group basis. These interactions may include playing games, making crafts, housekeeping, reading together, or sharing.
Volunteer Laborers help with maintenance, upkeep and other physical plant needs of St. Vincent Family Centers.
Volunteer Entertainers/Teachers provide enrichment activities for our classrooms. These may include performances, demonstrations, and lecture discussions on any number of relevant or interesting topics.
Volunteer children's party hosts usually represent a civic group or business interested in providing a holiday party for the children. Volunteers coordinate, plan and execute the party.
