YouthFriends is Fifteen!
DeLaSalle 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, grades K-12, within participating school districts. 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.

Classroom
YouthFriends volunteers are matched with classrooms by teacher request. Volunteers work with an individual child or a small group of children.

Tutor
Choose your favorite subject--math, reading, writing, science, social studies, computers, music or a foreign language--and work with a student who needs extra attention in that area. You may choose to mentor your student before, during or after school to help give him or her advice and direction in tasks, such as completing everyday assignments or developing a challenging project.
