volunteer

The Dominican Center welcomes volunteers. For years the Dominican Center has collaborated with two organizations who provide volunteer service opportunities, the Creighton University's Spring Break Service Trips program and Catholic Heart Work Camp. Youth from these organizations help Amani residents with minor home repairs such as painting, cleaning and yard work.

Volunteer Tutors

The Dominican Center enrolls learners of every age and ability into a personal, goal-directed program through one-on-one tutoring. Education at Dominican Center is unique because the only requirement is student commitment. More than 50 students wish to participate in this year's program. Tutors are needed to better serve this growing education program.

Volunteer tutors are an integral part of adult education at Dominican Center. Not only do they provide academic support, but they offer friendship. The care and trust that is fostered through friendship is critical to self and community efficacy necessary to achieve the goal of neighborhood revitalization.

Tutors are asked to commit to at least two hours, one day a week. Sessions are held Monday - Thursday, 9am-11:30am. Reading specialists and those with teaching experience are especially needed. 

Please consider making a difference in the life of a student. Contact Dr. Barbara Wells at 414-444-9930.
