Neighbor to Neighbor

In partnership with Lutheran Social Services and Annandale Christian Community for Action (ACCA), as well as with the help of many dedicated volunteers, we offer two-generational programming to engage the whole family. Volunteers offer homework help to school-aged youth, while younger siblings are engaged with crafts or stories and parents are assisted with practical questions and needs. An integral goal of homework club is to build relationships, offer support, and learn from each other as we get to know our neighbors. Volunteer tasks and roles include mentorship, homework help, crafting, English tutoring, job searching help, providing transportation, offering skills workshops. Join us!

We have restarted in-person programming, taking place primarily outdoors as weather permits! We meet on two Saturday mornings a month for an hour and a half. Background checks and orientation are required for all volunteers over the age of 18. Youth are welcome to volunteer!

The Neighbor to Neighbor planning team and volunteer base consist primarily of people from four area churches: Peace Lutheran, John Calvin Presbyterian, Ravensworth Baptist, and Little River United Church of Christ, as well as two consultants who are community liaisons and English instructors.
