Volunteer Opportunities From: United Way of the Midlands

Kids Can mentors are dedicated volunteers who provide guidance, support, and encouragement. Mentoring matches meet once a week connecting through fun activities focused on STEM, the arts, reading and the interests of mentees. All mentors receive training and ongoing support from Kids Can staff. The year-long friends provide a caring, stable influence in a kid’s life.

Where and when does mentoring take place?
The mentoring takes place on-site at Kids Can Community Center on 48th & Q Streets and Druid Hill elementary - a Kids Can Site, from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM.

What kinds of activities do mentors and mentees do together?
Mentor pairs decide what they want to do together. Activities range from building a robot, reading a story, to baking a pizza, to performing science experiments! Kids Can provides the activities and supplies necessary for your mentoring partnership needs.

At  Kids Can Community Center, our mission is to educate, engage, and inspire children through early childhood care and out-of-school experiences. Founded in 1908 as the Social Settlement Association of Omaha, we changed our name to Kids Can Community Center to better reflect our vision for children and families in our community.  Today we are a state-licensed childcare provider for children ages 6 weeks to 13-years old, offering full-day early childhood education. As an early childhood reader you'll have the opportunity to read in one of our brand-new preschool classrooms!
