Lunch Buddies Lunch Buddies provide a mentoring friendship for the children. Each volunteer is assigned a student to be their "buddy". The volunteer comes to school once a week to have lunch with their buddy, talk, play games, or read. At times, opportunities are provided to do activities with the buddy outside of normal school hours.
Tutors Tutors assist students with homework, help them prepare for tests, or help with their reading and/or math skills. Each tutor makes a weekly visit to their assigned student and sees directly the effect their participation has on the child's educational progress.
Snack Providers Snack providers may be individuals or groups who bring hearty, healthy snacks for the children on a regular basis, whether that be once a week or once a month. This is an important function as we often are not sure what quantity of nutrition the child recieves once he/she leaves school.
Birthday Sponsors A Child's Place partners with Birthday Blessings to provide birthday celebrations for our client children.
Classroom Assistants Classroom Assistants come once a week for a period of two hours (9:00 - 11:00 or 1:00 - 3:00). The volunteer will assist the teacher in facilitating classroom activities. Responsibilities include individual tutoring, leading small group learning activities, art projects, checking papers and other helpful tasks.
On-Call Volunteers On-call volunteers may assist with special events, represent the agency at special events, or various other unusual needs that may arise throughout the year.
**Please note that volunteers having direct client interaction must be 18 years old**
