Volunteer
After-the-Bell is staffed by more than 100 volunteers each year who share their time and interests with students. Activity sessions run for 6 weeks each in the fall, winter and spring, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays from 3–5pm.
Volunteers provide a safe, supervised environment where students can enrich their education, learn new skills, and strengthen their self-image through fun, adult-monitored activities. By volunteering you will be positively impacting the lives of those students who may otherwise have nowhere to go after school is dismissed and before their parents get home from work.
