Southwest Youth and Family Services needs YOU!
Many of our programs would cease to exist without people volunteering their time and energy to make them happen. We have fun and rewarding volunteering opportunities on both a long-term and short-term basis including:
After-school tutoring
Reading buddies
Youth mentoring and Young Men’s Group Facilitator
Event and marketing assistance
One-time group projects
Workshop facilitation for youth and/or adults (computer skills, cooking and nutrition, arts, exercise, etc.)
… and more!
Some of our current volunteer needs include:
- Reading with elementary age students after school (bilingual a plus)
- Tutoring
- Cleaning and fixing up community garden spaces
- Assisting with upcoming development events
