Cheney, Kan., 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.

Lunch Buddy
Meet a student one-to-one or a group of students during their lunch period and enjoy eating and fun conversation.

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

Reading Pal
Read to an elementary student, kindergarten through 3rd grade, one-to-one and listen to him/her read. Discuss what was read.

Tutor
Provide assistance to a student one-to-one who needs additional academic help on a particular subject area.
