YOU CAN ACADEMY
Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday (2:30 – 5pm)
We host our You Can Academy that tutors and mentors Kindergarten through 5th grade students. They receive a snack, hear a bible lesson, work on their homework and then have some free time to play! Relationships form from volunteers showing up consistently week after week and encouraging the students to graduate school to do amazing things with their life! More volunteers means we can accept more students. Volunteer 1 day, 2 days or all 3! Sign up at this link to volunteer:

WASH DAY
Every 1st Thursday of each month (1 – 4pm)
We use Wash Day as a day to shower love and kindness onto the homeless and less fortunate population of North Rosenberg. We invite volunteers to come and prepare a home cooked meal, pray with, sit with and assist in washing linens, blankets and clothes for these individuals. All at no cost to them. We also provide clothes, personal hygiene items, toiletries, towels, and feminine items as we have them available. This is a great way to empower our homeless community and show them that they are loved! Sign up at this link to volunteer:

ADULT EDUCATION
Our adult education program empowers individuals to take the next steps in their life. We know a hand up through education is vital to ongoing growth and transformation as adults seek to achieve their long-term and short-term goals. Volunteers are needed to mentor adults in ESL and GED Prep classes as well as Basic Computer skills.

HOME REPAIR & REVITALIZATION
Saturday Work Days
Our Home Repair program is geared to assist low income, single parent, elderly or flood affected individuals with critical repairs needed to their home. We also do community revitalization projects. We have volunteer opportunities for the whole family. Since Hurricane Harvey devastated the North Rosenberg and Cummings Road Area we will be assisting home owners in the rebuild process as well. Volunteers are needed for drywall hanging, insulation, painting and flooring as well. Sign up at this link to volunteer:
