Needs From: Head of the Lakes United Way

We are looking for positive adult role models to serve as academic helpers for K-8 students to complete assignments and be ready for the next school day. Approved mentors are in a supervised setting to help with homework or other academic activities, as well as provide a consistent source of emotional and social support for our clients. Please note, the academic needs are not an agency mandate but rather self-help and teacher-referrals. Meaning some days our homework helping needs are many and other days they are few(er). 

Please contact us for more information, as well as to discuss your potential time commitment and availability!

Our hours during the school year are: 

Monday 2:00-8:00

Tuesday 2:00-6:00

Wednesday 2:00-8:00

Thursday 2:00-6:00

Friday 2:00-6:00

Friday Teen Night: 6:00-10:00pm

Homework Help typically runs 3:00-5:00 but can be on a needs basis as well.

The Valley Youth Center is in need of educational professionals with specialties in the areas of:

Physical Education

Home-Ec

Music

Arts

Theater

Outdoor Education

And/or any other subject that makes the in-school experience fun!

 

We are looking for these professionals to instruct and positively influence our youth participants in educational experiences and hobbies that can catch their interest and change their mind set of what school is/can be. Classes would be in the after school timeframe and/or during the summer days.

Facilitation can include similar projects or activities the students are participating in currently at school (i.e. more time than the school day allows for desired results from in-school teachers), unique projects that capture the attention of our youth, or tried and true projects.  

Class size can vary on instructor preference and behavior tolerance.

 

Our hours during the school year are: 

Monday 2:00-8:00

Tuesday 2:00-6:00

Wednesday 2:00-8:00

Thursday 2:00-6:00

Friday 2:00-6:00

Friday Teen Night 6:00-10:00pm

 

Contact us to come and be a role model for youth in our community! rsalgy@valleyyouthcenters.org 

We welcome any time commitment for this volunteer experience, whether it be for a few hours per week or a few hours per month. 

Each day we provide a meal for the 80 to 100 participants that come to our agency. During the school year, we begin serving meals at 3:30 and keep fresh food out until we close.

We do this because if a child is hungry the less focused they can be on their personal skill building projects.

The VYC wants to take the hunger out of their after school and summer day long times so that they can focus on having fun, learning positive behavior traits, and becoming aware of the need for a good education.

 

If you have experience in food preparation, cleaning, or would simply like to help serve healthy meals to youth within our community and have fun doing it, contact us and we can discuss your potential time commitment and availability!

Have a hobby or pastime you're passionate about? Come share it with us! We're looking for people to come alongside K-12 students and teach whatever it is they're excited about. From sports, to crafts, to music, to dance, to cooking--whatever you love, we're interested in learning about it!

 

Please contact us to discuss your idea and potential time commitment and availability.
