Homework Club Group Supervisor (Adult Volunteer)
WE ARE LOOKING FOR ADULT (age 19+) VOLUNTEERS TO HELP WITH SUPERVISION OF OUR HOMEWORK CLUB GROUPS FOR THE 2025-26 school year. Enrollment happening between now and the Fall. Each group would have 1-2 adult volunteers (plus support from a school staff member), and 15-20 youth mentor/mentee pairs. A BBBS Case Manager does attend when needed. High school student volunteers will mentor an elementary school student once a week after school in a one-to-one relationship (in a group setting). Each high school student will be paired with an elementary aged student in grades 3-8. These mentors will assist their mentee with homework, play educational games, engage in academic activities and develop organizational skills. There is also a boardgame portion at the end of each session. Homework Club takes place at a number of specific elementary schools across the Halton region. Your role is very important. You are there as an adult representation of BBBS. You will help guide and mentor the high school student mentors, and ensure the group runs smoothly. We are currently enrolling adult volunteer supervisors for the upcoming 2025-26 school year, in OAKVILLE (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays, after school). The sessions are 70 mins, once a week. NOTE: applying through Volunteer Connector is NOT the application. Please email april.tanner@bigbrothersbigsisters.ca with any specific questions about Homework Club/this role. There is a link provided below which will take you to the appropriate place on our website to express your interest.
Additional Details & Skills Required
Volunteers provide their own transportation to designated elementary schools in Oakville.
Why should you volunteer for this opportunity?
This is a great opportunity for adults looking to get involved with their community. You will engage with high school and elementary aged students in a more relaxed, yet still an educational setting. Gain experience with a wide age range of students.
