HOMEWORK SESSIONS
Join our homework sessions and support students one-on-one or in small groups with their school assignments. The tasks vary, but your main role is to help participants understand the assignment, get started, and stay focused. Just as important is building trust, offering encouragement, and creating a warm, respectful environment.
No teaching experience required—just patience, empathy, and a smile. Homework sessions are held Tuesdays and Thursdays from 17:00–18:30.
DRIVING LESSONS
Participants can use their earned points to “buy” driving lessons with a volunteer. As a volunteer driving teacher, you’ll enjoy quality one-on-one time with a young person, offering a valuable chance to build connection and trust.
Each commitment involves 10 hours of driving, to be completed within 15 weeks. Our coordinator will help get you started, and then you and your participant will schedule lessons based on your availability.
SOMETHING ELSE
If neither of the areas above feel like the right fit, but you have another skill or idea you would like to contribute with, then we would love to hear from you!
