Youth Support Volunteer with Heartfelt Tidbits

Become a Youth Support Volunteer with Heartfelt Tidbits. The mission of Heartfelt Tidbits Inc. is providing support to refugees and recent immigrants living in Southwestern Ohio by facilitating integration and self-sufficiency through innovative education, cultural and employment-enhancing programming.

As a Youth Support Volunteer you will:

• Tutor students
• Help youth with college goals, preparation, visits, and/or applications
• Help with FAFSA forms

Referrals and tutoring

Volunteers assess the needs of clients through home visits and provide referrals to community partners who offer educational support and parent education courses. Volunteers also provide academic support through after school tutoring in order to acclimate youth to their new school environment. (this takes place at partnered schools)

Extra-curricular activities

We recognize that refugees have limited exposure to extracurricular activities and these may be overwhelming for parents. Heartfelt Tidbits' seek out opportunities with partners to engage youth into activities they would enjoy and collaborate with local schools for joint activities. It is found that more exposure to these events opens new doors to hidden talents, helps youth feel more comfortable in their new homes, and uncovers positive role models.

College preparation

Heartfelt Tidbits provides college preparation for those who plan to attend college. This component includes accompanying prospective students to university visits, aiding in the preparation of college and scholarship applications, and pinpointing the academic goals of each client.

Youth Support

Volunteers provide extensive support to refugee and immigrant children during their transition to a new and unfamiliar school system. Following that, Heartfelt Tidbits aids youth in their pursuit of higher education, and supports them through the overwhelming process of college applications and preparation.

Whatever your passion and purpose is, we are here to connect you to local nonprofits. RSVP is exclusive to those 55 years+ and residents of Greater Cincinnati.
