Volunteer at the Learning Center!

We need a volunteer base full of people who are passionate about our mission. We also welcome new ideas for talks and lessons, field trips, and community programs. SIGN UP BELOW to get involved. Questions? Contact us at connect@hsvlc.org or 256-536-4400.

Ways to Volunteer

Volunteer opportunities

We need tutors at the center to coach our students and help them to complete their homework Monday-Thursday between 4:45 – 6:00 p.m, as well as hands on help for extracurricular activities (art class, running, Bible lessons, and recreation.) Please fill out the application below if you are interested and Eliza Spearman, our Volunteer Coordinator, will contact you to schedule a quick orientation and tour of the facility.  Thank you for your heart for our students!

Healthy, Hearty Snack

Provide food for thought for the second half of our students’ day. We have 87 mouths to feed. Whole fresh fruit or individually wrapped snacks are best; carrots/broccoli and ranch or hummus, trail mix, Skinny Pop, ham/turkey sandwiches, sliders or pinwheels, protein bars, Veggie Stix, Go-gurt, etc. Come serve with your friends, family, or small group!

Bible Study

We provide our students with a daily devotional and they are encouraged to develop a personal relationship with God. We welcome guest Bible teachers and volunteers to share their faith and who would like students to visit their place of worship.

Mentoring

All volunteers are invited to become personal mentors to the students. We welcome tutors and volunteers to join us at meal time at 4:30 each day, which is a great opportunity to learn more about the students. We frequently have field trips or weekend events that require chaperones, which is open to anyone and another great mentoring time.

Gardening

Gardening is a beautiful way to teach our students about God’s glory through creation. This hands-on activity offers the opportunity to reap the rewards of hard work and a good work ethic, and also teaches the importance of giving back and sharing with others in their community. We need help with gardening maintenance throughout the year.

Security

Each day that we are at the Center, Monday-Thursday, we have many students, volunteers and employees coming in and out of the center. In order to ensure safety, the HLC would appreciate volunteers to act as security for the front door and outside of the center.

Please be at the center at 5:45 pm. The estimated time of volunteering will be from 5:45 - 6:30.

"My experience as a tutor at the Huntsville Learning Center has blessed me with the opportunity to not only spend one on one time with the children but also a chance to build relationships. To grow close to a child and then witness the pride they feel when they succeed at correctly spelling a list of words, finally understanding a math problem or better yet, being able to read after trying so hard is one of the many benefits of being a volunteer at the Learning Center."

Judy Panucci

"As an exercise volunteer, you have the privilege of running, walking, and doing calisthenics alongside the children, encouraging them to do their best and to work toward the goal of finishing a 5k. There are many rewards along the way but the ultimate is to see the smiles when they cross the finish line!"

Carol May

"Being an exercise volunteer is a way I can encourage the children with what I enjoy doing ... running! I am in no way an exercise professional, just a pursuer of fitness. This is a way I am able to serve the Lord through serving HIS children."

Beth Mosier

"It is certainly fun to be around all the energy, neat to see the smiles and laughter of the kids, great to watch the youthful competitive spirit, very special to see them encourage each other, but the most rewarding is to witness the moment they realize they are able to do more or run faster or longer than they thought possible – “..more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us” (Eph 3:20)"
