We are welcoming volunteers back on the campus!
Voice of Hope is so grateful for all the volunteers who serve and support the children and families we servw. At this critical time, although we have not resumed programs, this is a time of great opportunity for us to create a safe, fun and welcoming campus for the children when they do return. We have many opportunities on campus, from classroom painting, landscaping, organizing and cleaning and much more.
As volunteers begin to return to campus, we are of course prioritizing everyone's health and safety and will be following the guidelines for preventing the spread of COVID-19.

Here are a few ways you can help:
Voice of Hope depends on volunteers to help us achieve our mission. Some of our volunteers work directly with children in our ASPIRE After-School Program or Summer Day Camp, while others serve behind the scenes in support roles and garnering in-kind donations. Working together, we are able to give children the resources and individual attention they need to grow into strong Christian leaders.
ASPIRE After-School Program
ASPIRE serves Pre-Kindergarten-12th graders every school day, 3:30 - 6:30 p.m. Students receive help with homework and tutoring if needed. They also enjoy crafts and enrichment activities along with a nourishing meal. Volunteers may serve once (or more) each week. We prefer that volunteers working with students commit to a regular schedule.
- Coaches' Aid - Support the Coach(es) with classroom activities. Read with the scholars, help with homework, assist with projects and crafts and provide general character enrichment for the scholars. These are available at various times through the day with our various programs on the Main Campus and in the afternoon at our satellite campuses in Grand Prairie and DeSoto.
- Literacy Leader - Literacy Leaders is a program for volunteers who want to commit to "adopting" a scholar for en extended period of time and helping them improve their reading skills. Volunteers will be assigned a scholar with whom they will read, work through reading activities and comprehension as well as support them on the digital iStation software. Volunteers will meet with a scholar weekly or bi-weekly for preferably a semester or more and walk along side the scholar as they reach milestones in reading, encouraging them and challenging them to meet or exceed their desired grade reading level.
- Saturday Reading Enrichment - Various Saturdays during the school year. Help students with Istation, reading aloud, math games, and arts and crafts.
Summer Day Camp
Each summer Voice of Hope welcomes 175 area students for a two month summer camp. These otherwise underprivileged kids are given a purpose - to have fun! Sports, enrichment activities, field trips and more build self-confidence and prevent summer slide!
