The kids will get to the West End House right after school, so in between 2:00 and 3:00 every day. They are ages 6- 18. Homework must be done first in the Education Center. Volunteers are expected to participate actively and engage the students. They are asked to make sure West End House rules are adhered to by the students and provide a safe and fun environment. High energy is a must for this 4Boston volunteer. Some of the kids favorite activities include 4-square, reading buddies, computers, arts and crafts, and basketball.
