Volunteer Positions
Kids Feeding Kids
Every day at 5:00 p.m. Club members enjoy a healthy meal together. Meals include foods from at least two major food groups and are served by trained snack helpers. The East Side, Southside Village, Al Lenzmeier West Side Club, Mt. Airy, and Jerry Gamble locations provide full meals through the Pawn America Kids Feeding Kids program. As a volunteer, you can help facilitate and manage the Kids Feeding Kids program. Help serve food, monitor the cafeteria or use your cooking skills to help prepare meals! Mentoring Our mentoring program focuses on providing club members with emotional support while dealing with family struggles, behavioral issues etc. Mentors talk with their club members about career exploration, post-secondary education, drug and alcohol abuse prevention and self-esteem issues. The mentoring program can be done in an individual or group setting with a required meeting time of once a week. Homework Help Students get homework help through an intense two- to three-hour after school program. Members read by themselves, to other children, listen to a mentor read, or read to a mentor for 20 minutes. Completed work earns participants points they can redeem every Friday in the Power Hour Store. Volunteer to assist club members with homework, reading, or just be there to answer their questions! |
