Volunteer Support

Volunteer opportunities are available for groups and individuals. In order to provide a stable presence in our participants' lives, we ask that all volunteers commit to at least a semester of service (usually five months). Actual volunteer duties will be assigned in conjunction with interests and expertise. Ongoing training is provided. Background checks are required to work with children. For more information, please contact Urban Compass by email or phone at (323) 383-7588.


Volunteer Responsibilities

Volunteers play recreational and educational games with the students. Volunteers also assist students with homework, arts and crafts and act as chaperones on field trips. We assign volunteers to a specific child in order that the student and mentor form a relationship.
