After School Volunteers
Contact Blia Moua (916) 646-6346

High School Service Volunteers – mentor and tutor student in our After School Program or Summer Camp for a few hours a week. A little time makes a big difference. See below for descriptions of “tutor” and “mentor”.

Tutors – Tutors at RFDC assist students with their homework and provide extra help in reading and math. Tutors help decrease the ratio of students to staff members. Extra tutors enable our students to have the most one-on-one time possible.

Mentors – Mentors at RFDC play a crucial role in students’ success. They give students real examples of young adults making good choices and succeeding in academics. It is absolutely imperative that students are exposed to and have access to positive role models because of the support they provide and the good example they set. Mentors assist team leaders in the afternoons Monday-Friday.
