There are many ways you or your organization can join The Leaven to help children from under-resourced communities gain the skills and determination they need to excel.

Work with Students:

Several opportunities exist for volunteers to engage scholars in their educational activities:

  • Community Events: Volunteer at events that bring our students, families, and communities together, such as our Christmas Dinner, or Exploratorium event.
  • Community Service : Help impart the value of community service to our youth by designing, facilitating, or participating in a community service project with a group of students.
