    Description

    After School Buddies - volunteers needed!

    Help make a difference in the lives of kids dealing with homelessness and poverty! Open Doors' After School Buddies program is looking for adult and high school volunteers to provide homework help and enrichment activities during the 2025-2026 academic year. We ask that volunteers commit to at least two afternoons a month (Tuesdays and Thursdays) through each half of the school year.

    Over the summer, we hold regular Summer Fun days to have an afternoon of activities and let the families get to know the After-School Buddies volunteers for the upcoming school year.

    Sign up directly and learn about all of our volunteer opportunities at https://opendoorsct.galaxydigital.com.

    Requirements

    To become a volunteer in the After School Buddies program, volunteers must complete an application and necessary background checks. Volunteers will work with Open Doors staff and current After School Buddies volunteers.

    Location

    On-site
    4 Merritt Street, Norwalk, Connecticut, US
