After School Volunteers
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.

Fundraising Volunteers – Someone who can help out at fundraising
events, other special events and receptions for funders and other important

Inventory Volunteers – Volunteers needed to help us organize and inventory a closet full of resources at our after school program.
