Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers play a critical role at Dorcas Place providing the individual attention our students require to succeed. We always need new volunteers to work as one-on-one tutors, class room aides or after school program assistants.

Our volunteer positions include:

Tutor	Tutor small groups or individual students in math, reading, writing, and learning English. Help needed during the day and the evening for at least two hours a week.
Clothing Collaborative	Help answer the telephone, schedule appointments, process clothing donations and assist clients in selection of work outfits. Help needed during the day.
After School	Assist in the Child Opportunity Zone (COZ) afterschool program at the Alfred Lima Elementary School in Providence. Second, third and fourth graders work on homework and play games Help needed Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm.

All Dorcas Place volunteers must submit a clean BCI before they are accepted. A copy of your BCI can be obtained from the Attorney General’s Office on 150 South Main Street in Providence.
