Do you, like us, think it is important to dedicate some of your time and energy to strengthening the community in which you live? CBT offers a variety of ways for you to get involved. If any of the below options interest you please contact us at playarole@cbtutors.org.

Tutor – Strengthen your community by tutoring students, 3rd-10th grade. Volunteer once a week for an eleven week period from 4:30-6:00pm at any of CBT’s four Tutoring Sites. Work one-on-one with the same student each week helping to improve the student’s academic achievement and community awareness through character development.

Site Coordinator – Manage one of CBT’s tutoring sites. Be the main point person for all volunteers and students at the site. Help recruit tutors and assist in overseeing all tutoring activities as well as planning the volunteer activity.

Activity Leader – Share a specific skill with a group of high school and grade school students one time or once a month. An example would be teaching the young students how to play chess, build kite or how to knit (Your imagination is your only limit). Activities would need to be 30-45 minutes long and engaging for groups of high school and grade school students.

Volunteer Activity Participant– Attend and or help plan a CBT site volunteer activity. Activities involve high school tutors, college students and young professionals and focus on strengthening the community. They can range from beautifying a public space through picking up trash and planting flowers to going to an animal shelter to play with the animals. An informal picnic/get to know you session follows the events so you have a chance to chat with people from different age groups.

CBT's semi-annual bar fundraiser at Fizz on Lincoln saw two lucky attendees each walk away with two front row tickets to a Bull's game. The tickets were generously donated by a board member's employer and over 50 people enjoyed the festivities.
