After-School Volunteers Needed!

Welcome back to USM folks! Now that school is back in session, we are looking for more after-school volunteers to serve students (k-12) in the Portland community. There are lots of different ways to serve in an after-school program. You can be an academic tutor, run a workshop on a personal hobby ( like art or sports) or you can just play games with kids! If you don't want to work directly with kids, there are opportunities behind the scenes as well, such as cooking food or helping with office work. Some of our programs are structured like a class, and others are drop-in centers where kids can come for homework help or a place to stay while their parents are at work. All of the programs are located in Portland, and serve low-income and/or immigrant youth. Whatever your interest is, we have a role for you! Volunteering in an after-school program requires a commitment of at least an hour and a half a week for a semester. It's a great, flexible opportunity to give back to the community, and it looks great on a resume. If you are interested, please let me know!

all the best,
