Brookside Charter School Opportunities
 
YouthFriends is a school-based mentoring effort that links caring adult volunteers from the community with students in schools and is open to all students in participating Charter Schools of Kansas City, Missouri, grades K-8. All activities take place on school grounds before, during or after school hours. YouthFriends volunteers typically visit a school for one hour each week to do things like have lunch with a student, help with reading or academic tutoring, share an interest or a hobby or simply listen.


Breakfast Buddy (7:30-8:15 a.m.)
Eat breakfast with a student or small group of students at the school cafeteria. Be a mentor by assisting your student(s) with a class assignment, discussing a book or just chatting. This is a time to enjoy eating and fun conversation!

Lunch Buddy
Eat lunch in the school cafeteria with an individual student or group of students during their lunch period. This is time to build self-confidence and let the student know he/she is important.
