AmeriCorps members serve 12 weeks during the summer passing out meals to children at 5-7 assigned sites and leading active enrichment activities with them. Members receive a week-long training, a living stipend, and education award upon completion. Opportunities to serve are available in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin.

Volunteer

Volunteers are needed to help in a variety of capacities: administrative functions, passing out flyers prior to the summer, passing out meals, and leading enrichment activities for children at sites. Remote projects such as washing picnic blankets or printing services are also needed. Projects can accommodate both single volunteers and larger groups.

In-Kind Donations

In order to provide a high-quality, enriching environment for children, the following supplies are needed: soccer balls, kick balls, jump ropes, sidewalk chalk, bubbles, and other outdoor/active games. Donations of small prizes or school supplies are used as prizes throughout the summer. For AmeriCorps members, water bottles, coolers, and Gatorade are also needed. We are happy to provide any outreach material or assist in planning donation drives.
