b. Checking Google Classroom assignments
c. Revising and completing Late Work
2. Math Tutoring - 1 on 1, 30 min. session with a middle school student who needs help with homework, studying, or reviewing
3. Reading - 1 on 1 reading session with an elementary school student for 30-45 minutes to work on fluency and comprehension

Volunteers usually start with 1 day a week, from 3:30-5:30 and are needed on a weekly basis from September – June, between Monday and Thursday. We follow the Danbury Public School calendar except when we have field trips planned on national holidays. Our students do not come in on snow days. We can work with your schedule and be as flexible as needed, but it would be ideal to choose the same day each week to volunteer.

Our Main Goal: DGA’s outreach is fueled by the help of volunteers. We want to make volunteers feel valued and productive. If a volunteer is sitting around, we are not making the most of the resource we have available. Finding and inventing tasks for volunteers creates a fulfilling experience for them, which increases overall retention.

- Availability: You can go Out Of Office whenever you like and can set the Days and Times you wish for your "CareerSpring Office Hours," however, just because you choose these times, it does not mean you will always have a meeting. Meetings are scheduled based on student interest.

As an Advisor, you get to choose the topics you feel confident to offer advice about. Some topics include:
- General Career Conversation
- Being Successful at Work
- Work-life Balance

At JA Finance Park presented by the USAA Foundation, each student becomes “an adult for the day” in an electronic simulation. The students are assigned a life scenario so they can experience firsthand the real-life challenges of making personal budgeting decisions. After calculating their net monthly income and savings goals, students visit kiosks that represent different budget categories such housing, health insurance, groceries, and utilities. Anyone with real world monthly budgeting experience can become a volunteer. JA Finance Park Volunteers play a key role by helping the students understand the concepts of personal financial planning and career exploration. Volunteers provide guidance and assistance while monitoring and verifying students’ work.

Our ultimate goal is to represent USAA’s brand well, be good corporate citizens and partners to our nonprofit community members, and most importantly be there for these students, many of whom are in economically disadvantaged areas. When we do not show, this makes the event very challenging for junior achievement, for the remaining volunteers, and for the students.

Be inspired by the next generation of women, genderqueer, and non-binary
technologists! The National Center for Women & IT (NCWIT) needs your help to review applications for our Award for Aspirations in Computing. This award gives students a boost by letting awardees know that they are recognized for their talent as well as their aspirations to be women in tech.

Volunteering is virtual and can be done at your own time and pace. Estimated time is 2-3 hours to meet the minimum commitment.

Why Should I Volunteer?
Play a key role in recognizing and encouraging the next generation of technologists and their mentors!

Reviewing is not only rewarding, but also convenient. Volunteer application reviewers complete application reviews at their own pace, and spend an average of three hours reviewing. Review whenever you have a free moment—at lunch, after work, anytime.
Reviewing contributes towards required corporate volunteer hours. (Check with your company to see if being a volunteer application reviewer qualifies as required corporate volunteer hours.)​

​Aspirations in Computing will provide a certificate of volunteerism for each reviewer who completes 20 or more reviews. The certificate will state the number of reviews completed and can be used to document service efforts with one’s employer.

This year, we are hosting MLK Service Day on Saturday, January 25, 2025 at one of our key partner schools, South Shore PK – 8th Grade.

In past MLK Service Days volunteers have painted murals, participated in outdoor projects, organized classrooms, and kids ages 4 – 11 have specialized youth projects.

All are welcome to MLK Service Day so bring your friends, family, and network of education equity supporters! We will all come together to provide a safe and clean learning environment for the 700 elementary and middle students of South Shore.
