Cumberland Heights Youth Recovery is a 30-day residential program for youths recovering from a substance abuse problem. Volunteers are needed to help with homework in order for the residents to keep up with their classmates. Edgehill Center provides services to underprivileged children whose parents lack the adequate time needed from them by their children. Volunteers both tutor the children and act as positive role models for them. The youths range in age from 8 to 18 and stay at the center until they are placed elsewhere by the courts.
Consistency is mandatory.
Volunteers are paired with a child and spend time each week to complete their homework. All volunteers must work as a court-appointed mentor for a lest two hours per week during school hours. A semester-long commitment is required. Volunteer times are flexible but involve a 3-5 hour commitment per week with the youth. Volunteers can take them on outings or do homework with them.
