Volunteer with PAL!

After School Homework Club

After School Homework Club takes place 2:30-5:30 pm, Monday through Friday when school is in session. Volunteers will assist staff with supervision of students K-7, help with homework, provide snacks, track attendance, and interact with students in a variety of engaging activities. Volunteers have the opportunity to plan and implement activities aligning with their skills and interests such as sports, arts and crafts, dance etc. or actively participate in activities planned by PAL staff. After school programs have been shown to increase test scores and school attendance, promote healthy physical activity, and increase self-confidence. Be a part of this positive change in your community today!


Mentoring 

PAL is accepting new applications for those interested in becoming a Mentor. The Mentoring Program is offered two evenings during the week and Saturday mornings. Mentoring sessions include activities such as: character education, arts & crafts, homework help, group games, athletics, and even some field trips.  All mentoring takes place in a group setting and there is no obligation for a mentor to contribute their own funds or time outside of mentoring sessions.
