Announcing S.T.A.R.T.S.!

We are excited to announce a new YesWeServe program! The after school program S.T.A.R.T.S. (“Soaring To Achieve, Reaching To Succeed”) is a local expression of YesWeServe’s mission to “serve children and others”.  S.T.A.R.T.S. will help to provide grade schoolers at Luther Burbank Elementary School in Long Beach with some of the important aspects of their growth that have suffered under recent heavy budget cuts.

We will focus on Sports, Arts, Music, and Academics (homework help/tutoring).  We already have people who are leading each of those areas, but we are looking for volunteers in both these areas as well as general help so, if you are interested, please send an email to michelle@yesweserve.org and you will receive more information about S.T.A.R.T.S. 

The program is scheduled to start at the end of September and we will have orientation briefings for those of you who sign up.  This will also be a great opportunity for students who need community hours!

S.T.A.R.T.S. will take place Monday through Friday for three hours after school is out. Even if you are unable to volunteer the entire time, you are welcome to apply for the time slots and days you are available. More information about exact hours will be provided later.

S.T.A.R.T.S. after school program will take place at Grace United Methodist Church on Third and Junipero, who will partner with YesWeServe and who will provide facilities for both volunteers and the children.
