    Description

    CHiL Afterschool Mentor Program

    Apply today to volunteer during the 2024-2025 school year: https://www.handsonsuburbanchicago.org/chil

    Who: HandsOn Suburban Chicago (HOSC) needs caring and reliable community members like you to mentor high-needs students, getting them on track to graduate!

    What: CHiL is a volunteer-based afterschool program that provides social and emotional support coupled with homework help to low-income middle and elementary school students in Wheeling Township's Community Consolidated School District 21. Under the direction of program staff, volunteer mentors will foster socialization among a small group of students; facilitate social and emotional learning activities; and guide their charges in completing schoolwork.

    Where and When: CHiL takes place at middle and elementary schools in Wheeling Township's Community Consolidated School District 21. The program will run from October through the first week of May. Volunteer mentors are needed on Mondays through Thursdays from 3:00-4:45 pm (dates and times subject to change). Choose and commit to one day each week.

    Why: Mentoring is a fun and rewarding experience. In addition to the satisfaction that comes with positively impacting those in need, volunteering in schools is an ideal way to meet new people, enhance your resume, and learn new skills. Mentoring at CHiL is also a great way for college and graduate students to gain field hours.
