Volunteer with SBSK


Volunteer with Side by Side Kids and join a team of all ages that are committed to transforming lives. There is no greater reward than giving back to your community and investing in the life of a child. When you volunteer with SBSK, you will be introduced to a friendly environment filled with high energy, smiles, and laughter from our children and staff. There are many ways to contribute to our programs from helping with homework, supervising games, art projects, or offering guidance and mentoring. By lending your time and skills you are helping to encourage and equip students to reach their highest potential.

Our volunteers are the backbone of our program! Spending 1-3 hours weekly or biweekly to engage with our students and aid our staff has a significant impact on our program. Choose to serve anytime Monday-Friday, 3-6pm at any of our locations, or in our main office.

Bring an activity to us! We've had Nothing Bunt Cakes, invites from Circuit of the Americas - Formula 1, Colt McCoy Camp, visits from Book Authors, professional chess players that have coached our students, and more! 


Classroom Volunteer: Assist teachers by helping students with homework, engaging with them during Recreation and Snack Time, and reinforcing what is taught during Crew Time.

Meet Mackenzie, SBSK Volunteer

"Serving with Side by Side Kids has been one of my greatest blessings here in town, and the kids at J.J. Pickle have become like family to me. As someone who has always loved learning and school, helping the students with academic fundamentals like math, reading, and ESL is a true joy. But in many ways, the kids are the ones teaching me. Their full spirits and wide-eyed wonder are a constant reminder of what it means to have childlike faith." -Mackenzie
