Volunteer

OppCo is now accepting applications for adult volunteers to remotely tutor and mentor school students in grades four, five, and six.

More than 35% of the 3,778 residents living in OppCo-supported affordable homes are children and adolescents. We are looking for adult volunteers to meet weekly via Zoom with our students, one-on-one, as reading buddies and homework assistance. Your support will help children build their skills and confidence so they can advance their education.
