Description of volunteer opportunities and volunteer sign-up form.

There are as many ways to volunteer with Communities In Schools as there are volunteers. Help out with a school supplies drive or winter coat distribution. Present your industry at a career fair or serve on a board of directors. Mentor or tutor a young person who needs your help and guidance. Join thousands of others as we improve the odds for Washington youth in need and at risk.

We're experts in organizing volunteers. Give us a call; it might just be the best call you've ever made.

Change a young life for the better.

Think of the mentors in your life - a neighbor, a teacher or coach, a parent - and consider how they helped you be a better person. Take the time to thank them, then think about who you mentor.

Are you giving back?

There are lots of young people - all around us - who don't have a healthy relationship with a caring adult, and they need us. Do you have what it takes to be a good mentor? Interested in changing a young life for the better?

Send us your information by filling out the form below. We'll contact you promptly to set up an interview that could lead to one less dropout and a very gratifying experience for you.

One Child at a Time
When 6-year-old Samuel first attended his Communities In Schools after-school program, Director Cheryl Britt, recalls that he struggled to stay on task. “Samuel couldn’t stay in his seat long enough to complete a simple project.” After speaking with his mom, Cheryl learned that Samuel had recently lost his brother in a traffic accident, and was struggling to focus in school. Cheryl paired Samuel with Jacob, a mentoring volunteer. Jacob worked one-on-one with Samuel to help him complete his projects, stay on task, and engage with other students. "To see Jacob's patience with Samuel is amazing," says Cheryl. Jacob says he enjoys working with Samuel, and, “can definitely see a change. He interacts better with his peers and is able to stay focused on his work."
