Volunteer Opportunity Details:

In 2004, the Orange County Asian and Pacific Islander Community Alliance (OCAPICA) launched a FREE Soar Afterschool Program, for underserved middle and high school-aged youth. This program provides a safe environment for students to receive academic mentoring and support, as well as character education, leadership development, and cultural enrichment. The Soar Afterschool Program hours are Tuesday-Thursday, 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM during the academic year. (Sept-June)

Academic Mentors will be helping middle school and high school students reach their academic goals. Assist with homework in one-on-one and small group settings (min. commitment of 3 hours/week).

Students have an opportunity to earn community service and/or service learning hours and credits.

“I love Soar Afterschool, and I wish I had a sanctuary like that when I was young where I could tell my parents I was learning and still have a good time.”-Jeff, former Academic Mentor
