Volunteer in the Youth Development Program

According to the Search Institute, receiving support from non-parental adults and interacting with adults who are positive role models are assets that help youth grow up “healthy, caring, and responsible.” Additionally, a research study commissioned by the Lucille Packard Foundation for Children’s Health, “establishing supportive relationships between youth and adults may be the most critical component of an after-school program.” FamilyMeans fosters these connections not only through staff, but also with volunteers and program partners.

There are many different ways you could volunteer with the FamilyMeans Youth Development Program!

Youth Program Volunteer
Help on weekday afternoons at one of our award-winning after-school and summer programs for children and teens at Landfall or Cimarron. FamilyMeans values its volunteers and welcomes them to share their interests and hobbies with the youth in many ways, including arts and crafts, sports and games, creative play, reading, cooking, computer games, science projects, and character development activities. We are also looking for people to help tutor students in subjects like math and science.  

Bike Program Volunteer
Assist with repairing donated bikes. We are also looking for volunteers to help lead and supervise rides.
