Afterschool Program Assistant

Spend one day a week with the K-5th grade children enrolled in Backyard Bible Club and assist with homework, chapel, and other activities. 4:30-5:45pm. We ask that you commit to coming at weekly in order to build relationships with staff and children. BBC will start again in August of 2025.

Provide Peace of Mind for a Parent

Providing safe and reliable childcare makes the difference in neighbors being able to attend programs that can change their life! Free childcare overcomes a significant barrier to attending a program. By volunteering your time, you are giving peace of mind to parents looking to become community leaders. Volunteer commitment is to commit at least twice a month.

Weekly Mondays 6:30-8:30pm

Weeding of Landscaping

Commit to coming out on a weekly or bi-weekly basis in the spring, summer, and fall to keep our landscape beds clear of weeds. Estimated time approximately 2 hours per visit. (Need 4-6 volunteer per week.)

Shaved Ice

Agape Shaved Ice provides real job experience for the teens of our neighborhood. Host our teen small business, Agape Shaved Ice, at your next event! VBS, company picnic, birthday party - what is your next fun event?

Inquire about hiring our teens to serve shaved ice!
