    Description

    Help Our Children Learn and Thrive!

    If you want to make a difference in a child’s life, we need YOU! Our volunteers assist students in grades 1-6 with school assignments and other academics, including reading, writing, and math. Coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic and virtual school, there are unprecedented levels of demand for educational tutoring assistance. Most of our students do not speak English at home and are at heightened risk of falling below their grade level. We know from 28+ years that the power of our volunteer-driven program makes a real and lasting difference in our student’s lives by setting them up for success in high school and beyond. As a Vecinos Unidos Volunteer, you can be a part of that journey.

    Our organization is accepting applications for the 2025-2026 school year! Commitment is desired one day a week for a fall or spring semester.

    The program is located at the Herndon Neighborhood Resource Center (1086 Elden St., Herndon, VA 20170). We are seeking Volunteers to join us 4:30-6:00 pm once a week on a dedicated day: Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. We have a wait list of students and need your help. Visit our website at www.vecinosunidos.org to apply now!

    3 shifts available:

    • Wednesday Shift: 16:30 to 18:00 EST
    • Tuesday Shift: 16:30 to 18:00 EST
    • Thursday Shift: 16:30 to 18:00 EST
