Two hours a week can make a big difference!

The afterschool program at Billings Forge is a free weekday program that offers youth in the neighborhood a safe place to come during after school hours. Most of the 15 students who attend the program are 3^rd to 6^th graders at Burns Latino Studies Academy and live in the Frog Hollow neighborhood.

The program offers snacks, homework assistance and enrichment classes in art, music, dance and cooking. They are currently seeking volunteers who can assist at least one day a week on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and/or Thursdays from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Volunteers will help with classroom set-up, activity and behavior monitoring, homework tutoring, and classroom clean-up.

If you are interested in participating, please contact Amara Watkin-Anson at amara@billingsforgeworks.org or call (860) 548-9877 x201.
