After School with Pomona Hope! welcomes kids in 1st-12th grade. We are dedicated to working alongside parents and community members on behalf of Pomona's youth. We aim to provide resources and a safe, affirming environment for youth to grow and learn. We understand that each child is unique, and seek to unlock that unique potential.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES: § Individualized Instruction Tutors § Curriculum Organizers § Set Up Supporters § Administrative Assistants § Grocery Shoppers § Snack Servers § Computer Instructors § Art Instructors § Gym Coaches § Check In Attendants § Classroom Decorators
All volunteers must be trained and fingerprinted before serving.
We ask our volunteers to dedicate one consistent hour every week (though most stay for the duration of the program day) to our program. The more consistent you are, the more the kids get to know you and expect you to be there (of course, if needed, we can accomodate schedule changes). And of course, once that happens, they'll pretty much love you. Volunteering here is not a way to get your community service hours in. It's a way to change your life and theirs and to become part of a tight-knit community that's dedicated to the improvement of the lives of people all across Pomona.
