On the Tuesday before every Thanksgiving, Urban Edge staff and volunteers gather to pass out between 300 and 600 turkeys and chickens and Thanksgiving fixings. Volunteers take donations (foodstuffs), sign in recipients, assist in distribution, set up and clean up, deliver food to seniors.
Particularly in the warm-weather months, we schedule community-building events that might be anything from a cookout to a neighborhood walk. Volunteers are welcome to join us, pitch in, and get to know your community.
Children need supplies for school: notebooks, pencils, backpacks and book bags, even winter coats. Urban Edge takes donations to purchase these supplies, or collects the supplies from generous local businesses. Volunteers secure donations, direct and sign in recipients, gather and distribute supplies, set up and clean up.
This resource fair connects students with summer camps, job opportunities, free lunches and other events that can help make summer a happy, productive time. Volunteers secure donations, direct and sign in recipients, set up, and clean up.
Want to directly impact the lives of promising, motivated Scholars? Then join us on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school! Volunteer tutors help Scholars complete homework, facilitate educational games and activities, supervise recess, and more.
Offered every Saturday throughout the academic year, SMASH is a two-hour study hall where Scholars can work independently, collaborate with other students, and receive one-on-one tutoring. Volunteers support Scholars by serving as tutors and mentors, and these meaningful relationships help students gain confidence, build their academic skills, and stay on track for college.
Are you a Steppingstone Alum who wants to support younger Scholars? If so, we’d love to hear from you! Steppingstone is always looking for volunteers to mentor Scholars who have graduated from high school. These Alumni support students by looking over resumes, discussing career paths, helping with graduate school applications, finding scholarships, and more.
There are many additional opportunities for you to contribute to Steppingstone’s work throughout the year. Activities include: speaking on a career panel, becoming a Steppingstone Ambassador, mentoring a Steppingstone Alumni, visiting Steppingstone to see our programs in action, or hosting an event.
