There are so many meaningful and significant ways to give back to the community through the Alexander YMCA.

	Community HOPE Mentor	Community HOPE is an academically structured mentoring and literacy program that addresses the individual learning needs of students living in affordable housing communities here in Raleigh. They rely heavily on volunteers. Each week, the Alexander YMCA needs more than 70 mentors to make this program a success. Volunteers are needed Monday through Thursday from 4:30 - 5:30 p.m. or from 5:30 - 6:30 p.m. during the school year to help with literacy development. Each student is paired with 2 adult advocates of mentors who strongly support the student for an entire school year and often longer. We are looking for volunteers who can commit just one hour per week for one academic school year or who can volunteer as a substitute mentor when needed.
