On Tuesdays from 9 a.m.-noon, parents bring their children in and get a break for themselves. As well as babysitting, the students work with trained adults to encourage child development. The Indiana Boys' School is a minimum-security correctional facility for juvenile males between the ages of 12 and 18. There is a special person out there beyond the walls of DePauw University who would love for you to be a part of their life experiences. The shelter is an immediate haven for homeless people of the community that works to meet the needs of the displaced person.
Volunteers help residents with homework, office needs and other tasks to help the shelter.
Students with energy and a positive outlook on life are perfect volunteers. The Reading Improvement Center operates an After School Enrichment program for children in grades 1-4. This free program is aimed at working with children who need extra help in reading and math. Students will work with the director to plan appropriate- work for each session. The Enrichment Program for Elementary School students is an organization created by parents and teachers to offer young students the opportunity to participate in educational activities and lessons not offered during the regular curriculum in our school system.
