Anthony-Harper School District 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.

Mentor
Have fun playing a game, sharing a hobby, skill or sport, or just chat.

Chat 'n Chew
Meet a student one-to-one or join a group of students during their lunch period and enjoy eating and fun conversation.


Breakfast Buddy
Meet a student one-to-one for breakfast on your way to work and assist with homework, life skills, or enjoy eating and fun conversation.

Mentor
Talk with a student, listen, work on homework, play games, be a role model, just "hang out."

Tutor
Help with math, science, reading, writing, etc. before, during or after school.

Reading Pal
Help students in grades K-7 practice and improve reading skills so they can gain the confidence necessary to be successful readers. Work with students one-to-one or in small group relationships for a minimum of one semester. Classroom teachers or reading specialists usually monitor student progress. Specialized one-hour mandatory supplemental training provided free-of-charge.

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