• Time Commitment/Locations: Generally, we are in need of volunteers Monday-Thursday from 3:30-7:00 and Fridays from 3:30-6pm. A typical academic/squash session usually lasts 1-1.5 hours. There are opportunities at both of our locations: our south Chicago site in Woodlawn and our Evanston site.
• Squash/Fitness: Volunteers with a squash background can help lead guided instruction on the courts with groups of 3-4 students. If volunteers do not have a squash background but would like to help with athletics, they can help lead or participate in a fitness game or activity to enhance our students’ endurance.
• Academics: Volunteers can work on a variety of tasks in our academic classes. They can work one-on-one with students giving them guided support through homework help. They can assist the seniors in navigating the college access process. They can lead an academic station for our middle school students. They can also help facilitate a workshop for our high schoolers.

• Interested volunteers apply online through Better Impact which can be found directly at this website.
• Staff will contact volunteer to schedule visit and/or confirm interests/availability. A national and state background check is completed on all volunteers.
• Volunteers attend a 1-hour orientation that goes over expectations and helpful tools.
• If interested in squash, volunteer must hit on court with a squash staff member to assess squash ability.
