Volunteer
There are several ways to serve as a CYP volunteer:
-
Homework helper
-
Drive students home in the evenings
-
Give a presentation to students
Homework helpers (tutor) assist students with homework and studying. Tutoring sessions are completed 1-1. Homework is completed between 3-5pm, M-Th.
Evening drivers transport children to their homes at the end of the day. Most students live within 5 miles of CYP. Rides home are between 5:30-6:00pm, M-F.
Presenters offer special interest programming to elementary, middle, or high school groups. We'd love to hear your ideas for a unique presentation!

Elementary and Middle School Program
Children in 3rd-8th grade in Roanoke City Public Schools may participate in the elementary and middle school program. Children are given individual tutoring and homework assistance, and are guaranteed at least 45 minutes every M-Th to complete homework, work on projects, and study for tests. Students also take part in an enrichment activity every day, and often go on field trips on
Fridays. Enrichment activities focus on building
self-esteem, exploring new ideas, service learning,
healthy life skills, and so much more. Field trips include visits to local museums, farmers markets, athletic activities, etc.
