Opportunity Details
2026 Freedom School Activity Volunteers
The YWCA of White Plains and Central Westchester's Freedom School allows children to dedicate their summer break to building a love of reading, learning, and leadership. To complete this experience, volunteers are needed to lead 45-minute enrichment sessions that introduce these youth scholars to a variety of subjects, including different talents, hobbies, professions, or passions. Each session is comprised of about 16 youth scholars from a single grade level, though age groups can be combined if it suits the volunteer activity leader's activity or presentation.
Session topics may include:
- Arts and crafts
- Music and dance
- Sports and fitness
- Cooking and nutrition
- Technology and coding
- Gardening
- Storytelling and writing
- Science experiments
- Career exploration
- Wellness and mindfulness
- Theater and creative expression
- ...or any other unique subject that could inspire young minds
Time commitment:
- Sessions are 45 minutes long
- There are two session opportunities per day: 1-2 p.m. and 2-3 p.m.
- Sessions take place on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from July 7-August 20
- Volunteers can offer to lead as many sessions as they'd like
