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 and/or middle school groups. We'd love to hear your ideas for a unique presentation!

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, servicelearning,
healthy life skills, and so much more. Field trips include visits to local museums, farmers markets, athletic activities, etc.
