You are needed!
Students need caring adults like you—people willing to sit beside them, help untangle homework, listen as they read, and take a genuine interest in their lives.
Volunteers are essential at Micah House. When we are fully staffed, students receive the structure, encouragement, and hope they need to thrive.
Come be part of something that truly makes a difference.
What Volunteering Looks Like
Each afternoon, two programs run simultaneously at Micah House:
Elementary Program
The elementary program focuses on helping students grow academically, socially, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Students arrive after school, enjoy a nutritious snack, and move into structured homework help and individual reading.
We maintain a 1 volunteer to 3 student ratio, ensuring each child receives personal attention. Afternoons also include enrichment activities such as games, art, science, and creative play.
Teens Program (Middle & High School)
The teens program builds on this foundation through positive community, mentorship, and increased independence. Teens are encouraged to explore their interests, make choices, and grow in confidence.
Volunteers serve as homework helpers and mentors, offering guidance, encouragement, and consistent presence.
Afterschool Volunteer Roles
We need volunteers in both programs, including:
- Homework helpers
- Reading support
- Teen mentors
- Story time / Bible & life lessons readers
- Recreation leaders
- Skill-sharing volunteers (art, cooking, gardening, sewing, photography, and more)
No special training required—just a heart to serve and a willingness to connect.
Other Ways to Volunteer
Can’t commit weekly? We also have flexible and one-time opportunities:
- Handyman and general maintenance help
- Yard work and gardening
- Fixing bikes
- Providing snacks
- Special events (Family Nights, Back2School Jam, fundraisers)
Great for individuals, families, small groups, or teams.
