Volunteer Opportunities

  • Classroom Aide

    Students and teachers benefit from having additional support in the classroom. While classroom activities vary and may include reading time, help with art and science projects, play yard monitoring, help cleaning, field trip support, and more. You will be matched with a classroom that best complements your interests and skills.

  • Special Projects/Events Support

    If you are organized and enjoy helping with mailings, filing, archiving or other office duties, we welcome the support. Or, do you prefer to be out and about, supporting special events and outreach opportunities? Let us know! Hours vary based on need. Please get in touch with us for available opportunities.

    The Counselor in Training (CIT) Program is an educational program for high school students ages 16 and up. Participants will be assigned to support Pathways’ after-school program for children ages 5-12 during the school year.
