Volunteer: Youth Center Tutoring and Drop-in CentersCasa de Luz offers tutoring for elementary, middle, and high school students in our neighborhoods. Most of our students are chronically absent and have missed instruction in school. Casa’s tutoring program focuses on helping students with reading, homework, and education advocacy. Our three youth drop-in centers are open five days a week. The teens have access to hygiene products and food that is available discreetly. They do not need permission to access these products, and they are available anytime, no questions asked. They have a daily Bible study and go on many outings, including a summer camp and mission trips. We have a paid internship for teens in the neighborhood that give them job skills and support them in transitioning to a job in the community. We also provide college scholarships to our young adults. These programs invest in their futures and build hope.
