We currently have over 300 men and women who volunteer to become a friend to one of our students. Mentors must commit to a minimum of one year of service and a minimum of two in-person visits per month with the student. While we ask for the minimum commitment, we hope that the relationship develops and that time allows for service well past the one year minimum. The average length of our mentor matches is five years and a few mentors have worked with the same student from Kindergarten to 12th grade.

Denver Kids, Inc. greatly appreciates the time and effort contributed by the many community members who make a tremendous difference in the lives of the students in the Denver Kids, Inc. program. For this reason, Denver Kids, Inc. works with each mentor to assure a satisfactory match, and to provide flexibility to accommodate a volunteer's schedule.

Denver Kids, Inc. offers a variety of opportunities for our students to participate in community building, service projects, and educational activities throughout the year.

As a short term volunteer you would not only be supporting the activity programs, but also the Future Options program, the Parent to Parent program, and possible administrative programs as well.

Volunteer needs include: • Transportation Assistants – One of the biggest barriers for students to participate in our activities is simply getting to/from them. We are seeking caring individuals with reliable transportation and a safe driving record to help transport students to/from activities.

•Parent 2 Parent Program- The purpose is to empower and educate the parents of our students on the importance of and how to be engaged in the education of their son/daughter.

We need: •Transportation Assistants – One of the biggest barriers for families to participate in these meetings is simply getting to/from them. We are seeking caring individuals with reliable transportation and a safe driving record that would help to transport one or more parents and possibly their children if they don’t have access to childcare to/from these local area meetings.

• Childcare Activities Planner/Leader – Many of our parents who attend our Parent to Parent meetings have limited access to childcare and so must bring their children with them to meetings. The children range in age from toddlers to high school students. We are seeking caring individuals who would be willing to supervise and plan activities for the children while their parents participate in the meeting. Activities could include sports, crafts, games, etc.

•Tutoring/Homework Helper – For our school age students who have to attend the meetings with their parents, we would love to offer them opportunities to get help with homework and assistance with subjects in which they may struggle.
