Volunteer Project Opportunities:

Drives for Schools! Help support a partnered school-site by donating items during our two annual drives before student’s winter and summer breaks. We offer hygiene, school, and snack drives as options to support our students.

Host a Virtual Professional Development Session for Staff and AmeriCorps members! Share your expertise with our wonderful staff and AmeriCorps members to speak about interviewing, networking, financial literacy, mental health/wellness, or other areas of professional development.

Notes of Encouragement and Book Drive! Write notes of encouragement to our K-3rd grade students at Reading Corps sites. Help give students an impactful message in books that students can read during school breaks.

Career Fairs and Exploration Day! Work with a Corps for a Change member and CYC staff to organize a career exploration day for high school students or engage in the school site’s career fair.

Reengagement Tour! Take part in the complex process of reenrollment with a partnered high school. Walk in the shoes of students by reviewing transcripts, understanding school options, and shadowing the different barriers that students face.
