Why We Need Your Support
There are a few affordable programs available for all youth including middle and high school youth in Volusia/Flagler Counties, after school and during the summer. However, we are the only after school program that offers structured high yield learning activities, at no cost to our families. These years are critical times for young people who are making decisions that will affect the rest of their lives. Experimenting with drugs and alcohol, gangs, poor choices in school, unhealthy eating and exercise habits, and premature sexual activity are all potential behaviors that students can develop when they are not in a safe, positive environment after school and during the summer.

WAYS TO GET INVOLVED
Volunteer With Us at a Club
We are always looking for both individuals and groups to offer their energy, time, talent, and skills to enrich the lives of our youth and keep our Clubs in top condition.
Whether you help with homework, coach a game, serve as a mentor, or teach an art project, you’ll have the opportunity to build healthy relationships with young people eager for adult guidance and have a positive impact on their lives. In turn, you will find that spending time with these young people has a positive impact on you as well.
Volunteer groups provide support to our Clubhouses on either a one-time or recurring basis. Groups can choose to help with daily programs, beautification projects, and/or Clubhouse events. We can accommodate groups of three to 30 participants. Note: For planning purposes, groups are asked to contact us at least three (3) weeks in advance if they are interested in a special project. Because of Club schedules and facilities, we are not able to accommodate every group’s request to volunteer.
A great way to engage your employees who are interested in making a meaningful difference in the lives of children is by giving them a platform to give back. Whether it’s helping to coach sports, mentor, or provide homework assistance to young people, the Club has several opportunities that are ideal for individuals who can commit to volunteering at least once or twice a month.
If you would like to volunteer, contact a Club Unit Director for more information. Click here to find a Club near you.
