Homework Club Help

Our Homework Club volunteers make a meaningful difference by supporting our youth (ages 5-12) with homework and learning activities. Volunteers generally choose one-two days per week; Monday-Friday from 2:30-4:00 pm. We’re looking for patient, kind, and caring volunteers who enjoy encouraging confidence, focus, and a love of learning. Experience in education is extremely valuable, but not required.

Garden & Greenhouse volunteers play an important role in supporting hands-on learning and healthy living at the AYCC. Volunteers help with seasonal garden prep, planting, tending, and harvesting, while supporting the care and maintenance of our greenhouse. This opportunity is perfect for individuals or groups who enjoy working outdoors, getting their hands dirty, and helping provide fresh, nutritious food and learning experiences for our youth.

Greenhouse to Your House Program

The Greenhouse to Your House ↗ program provides a free, healthy, and fresh product to our community to help mitigate food insecurity in the short term, but the meal kit concept helps create cultural change by defining a new narrative around healthy food and cooking at home with the goal of inspiring families to implement healthier practices in the long term.

Weekly boxes are prepared to send home to families and we need your help! Join us on Wednesdays and/or Thursdays to help organize ingredients and pack the boxes for our families.

From time to time, we need volunteers to help with a variety of tasks from general administrative dutie, assisting with cleaning in wellness, special projects/events, and our Annual Appeal Fundraising Awards Dinner.

Interested volunteers should complete an application and mark other for volunteer positions.

Volunteers called Partners play a big role in creating an inclusive environment and assist with learning new skills.

Volunteers are the backbone of this program. By implementing inclusive sports, youth leadership opportunities, and whole facility engagement, the Unified Champion Program will create meaningful change in creating a socially inclusive community that supports and engages all learners.

The Unified Champions Club ↗ participates in a number of activities throughout the year, including arts & crafts, softball, swimming, softball, volleyball, bocce ball, basketball, volleyball, walking club, and more!
