Volunteer
(See "Current Opportunities" below.)
Toberman welcomes volunteers. We encourage creative ideas and
special projects for our kids such as: art, dance lessons, sports,
science experiments, special talks on health, hygiene, race,
or other cultural issues.
Our creative programming can accommodate teen internships,
and community service hour projects.

basic reading and math skills. These children are broken down
into two age groups: ages 5-10 and 11-14.

to fulfill requirements for special service groups, such as
an Eagle Scout or Girl Scout project.
Athletics: Help

Sponsor a field-trip:
Field trips offer a chance for the children of the Barton Hill
Neighborhood to become exposed to other opportunities. This
is a unique reward for teens who have earned high grades as
well as an educational bonus for younger and older children.
Feeding Program: This
popular, interactive program allows a group to pick one day
a month to come serve a hot meal to our children at 4:30, which
is right when they have completed their homework. The group
prepares the food and brings all the paper goods to feed approximately
50 children on their designated day.
