How to Help
There are many different ways you can help our students achieve their dreams. Descriptions of some of these opportunities are listed below.

 
Study Hall Buddy Program
IHAD-EPA is looking for committed volunteer study hall buddies to join our team during the after-school program. These volunteers have the opportunity to help a small group of middle school students with their homework. Homework ranges from the basic math and reading to more complicated science and social studies assignments. Volunteers are needed after school, Monday-Thursday. IHAD-EPA asks that homework buddies commit to an entire school year with the Dreamers. Please see the “Volunteers” link for more information.


In-class Support
The teachers we work with during the academic year often request help with lessons and special projects in the classroom. We are looking for volunteers who can assist teachers in the classroom. Prior teaching or tutoring experience is helpful for this position.


 
Volunteer your Services
If you or someone you know could provide valuable information to the Dreamers or their families in a workshop setting, we’d love to have you as a guest presenter. Could you lead a workshop regarding study habits, healthy eating, organization, financial planning, or peer pressure? If you have an interest in sharing your knowledge in a one-time workshop setting, we have a space for you!


Financial and In-Kind Contributions
Financial and in-kind contributions are critical to the success of the program. These contributions allow us to offer higher quality and more extensive programming and help us to better meet the individual needs of the Dreamers. In addition to monetary donations, books, games, clothing, food and tickets to sports and cultural events also are extremely valuable to the program.
