Get Involved
Esperanza loves to meet community members who are interested in giving back and who are passionate and share in the same mission. Join us as we continue to provide inspirational and meaningful programming to empower our clients and students and transform their lives.
Ways to Make a Difference
Create School Resources
Whether in-person or working on your own time, help our team make task boxes, file folders, and other learning materials for our students. Volunteers can also help make copies for teachers and shadow paraprofessionals and/or teachers in the classroom to provide an extra hand.
Engage OUR ADULT PARTICIPANTS
Volunteer your time with our adult participants during an art lesson, day program, or in the residential homes. Volunteers have enjoyed reading books or supporting teachers by providing extra hands in the classroom.
LEAD A LESSON IN OUR PROGRAMS
Display your own passions and interests to our students and/or adult participants by leading a special, extra-curricular lesson! Our students and adult participants love music, movement, cooking, and much more.
Help During SPECIAL EVENTS
Esperanza hosts a few fundraising events each year, where we need specific help with mailings, setting up and cleaning up the events. During the holidays, we always like to organize special holiday events for our students and adult participants with our partners.
Join our Board
Esperanza Community Service has a robust, engaging, and active board, and we are always looking for more board members.
