| Ways to help |
Administrative SupportAdministrative volunteers support PUENTE hands-on by assisting on an as-needed basis with a variety of office tasks and projects.Citizenship ClassProvide teaching assistance to assist our students to prepare for the U.S. naturalization test. You can help to guide community members in becoming new American citizens.ESL Small Talk: Practicing EnglishESL Classes empower parents and adults to gain needed language skills so they can engage more actively in their children’s education or improve their economic opportunities. Classes are offered in partnerships with Los Angeles Unified School District and Los Angeles City College. Volunteers engage in English conversation with adult ESL students.Special Events- FundraisingEach year, PUENTE hosts fundraising and engagement events to reach out to our community and support our programs. Events include Back to School Bash and Golf Classic.Children’s Programs: Classroom AssistantVolunteers in the classroom make a difference for children’s lives by assisting PUENTE educators in our Preschool, Charter School, After School, and Summer Camp programs. Volunteer support roles include providing students with extra help or supervision, delivering enrichment activities (e.g., art, music), and assisting teachers with snack and recess time. Volunteering in any children’s classroom requires attending an orientation session, completing a fingerprint scan, and submitting a TB test clearance, for anyone over the age of 18.College and Career Program: Professional GuidanceHigh school students in the PUENTE College and Career Program benefit from the support of volunteers from the STEM fields and beyond. Guest speakers visit PUENTE students during their weekly college and career preparedness seminars on campus at our partner sites. And every spring, PUENTE plays host to a variety of professionals who visit the PUENTE campus for our Career Fair. Volunteers support the weekly seminars and the annual career fair by sharing the story of their career path, answering student questions about their profession, or providing informational interview opportunities. |

| How you help | Without the support of our volunteers, we would simply not be able to provide so many opportunities for over 2,000 people every year. |
