High School Academic Social Support for Latino Youth Chirilagua neighborhood

"Casa2College" is Casa Chirilagua's High school academic and social support after school program held Wednesday evenings 5-7pm. Volunteers provide High School students with homework assistance, support as they are preparing for college and/or vocational next steps, Help facilitate small group discussion for emotional development curriculum, and participate in games/ activities with students. Program runs August 30th to December 13th 2023. 

Note: As most of our volunteer opportunities are with children, we require all volunteers to submit a volunteer application with references, complete a background check, participate in child safety training, and program training. All these efforts are to keep our children safe. As a faith-based not-for-profit, we openly offer Christian education at our programs. It is not a requirement to subscribe to a certain faith to volunteer, but we do suggest only those comfortable with open Christian teaching to volunteer.
