Volunteer From: United Way of San Antonio and Bexar County

Senior Center Assistant - (Year Round) 9:00 am - 2:00 pm

With the only Nationally Accredited Senior Center in South Texas, we strive to provide a safe, enjoyable and active environment for our clients. Volunteers help in all aspects of our daily program. Activities include, but are not limited to, morning walks, bingo, serving meals, arts and crafts, and activity monitors. Each of these activities are in place to stimulate the mind, body and spirit of our clients. In addition, volunteers are expected to participate and engage in programming to ensure that clients have an enjoyable experience.

At Good Samaritan, we want to set the best example for our students. Through a program that focuses on the 40 Developmental Assets set by the Search Institute, we target areas where our students might need some extra attention. Students that show signs of risk are paired with a mentor. Mentoring provides our clients with a positive adult role model in their life. By engaging with our students, our mentors will provide a demonstration of these assets, like integrity and goal setting.

Mentors must be at least 18 years of age and obtain a GED or high school diploma. They must also commit to at least four (4) consecutive monthly visits at an hour each time. 

School Year:
Mentoring is available during our Afterschool Program from 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm.

Summer:
Mentoring is available during our Camp Good Sam Program from 8:00 am - 4:00 pm.
