Youth programs at CommonBond help resident youth achieve academic and social success. We have many youth programs through Advantage Services, and are most often recruiting for youth volunteers. To view opportunities to volunteer with youth, please click here.

	Learning Circles Learning Circles is a youth mentoring support program. Volunteers mentor up to four residents in 4th to 12th grade with similar learning goals. These groups meet for 1½ hours twice a week throughout the school year, providing youth with academic assistance and group support.
	Study Buddies Study Buddies is a one-on-one academic mentoring program. Spend one to two hours a week helping a child with homework assignments, special projects, academic skills, and more.
	Homework Center Homework Center tutors team up with CommonBond staff to assist groups of students at drop-in homework centers. Tutors aid students with homework assignments and strengthen academic skills in a fun, productive environment.
	Camp Fire Come share the fun of being a Camp Fire kid! A partner organization of CommonBond, Camp Fire creates programming that builds caring, confident youth and future leaders Camp Fire volunteers assist by leading small Camp Fire groups in fun activities after school.
	Preschool Program Preschool Program volunteers will assist in the preschool program by supervising children who may be preparing for Kindergarten or learning social skills.
