Our current volunteer opportunities:

The number one way to get fully involved in the community is to volunteer as a tutor/mentor at one of our after school programs!

Our after school programs assist students in grades 1 through 12 in improving their academic skills and building ties to their communities. As a volunteer, you will have the opportunity to mentor students, be a role model, and teach good study habits. 

We have TWO locations where we are running an after school program - at the Rainier Vista Neighborhood House, and at the New Holly Campus. Volunteers to the Rainier Vista Neighborhood House program serve from 5 to 6:45 PM, and volunteers at the New Holly Campus program serve from 4:30 to 6:30 pm.

Before submitting your application, please Email Nat at natalien@hoas.org for more information!

each year, volunteers give thousands of hours of their time, energy, and experience to help enrich our programs. 

As a volunteer with HOAS, you will have the opportunity to work in a multi-cultural environment, learn more about the East African community in Seattle, and gain valuable skills for your resume. 

We are happy to accommodate service-learning credit and service hours.

We ask that volunteers in our after-school program make a commitment of at least three months. 

If you have questions about volunteer opportunities, please email our Volunteer Coordinator, Nat,  at natalien@hoas.org. 

Volunteers to the after school programs must have graduated high school or have a GED. Volunteers under 18 years old must have a signed permission form from parent/guardian. All volunteers will be required to pass a background check.
