Do you love kids?

Are you patient?

Would you like to help change the world – one child at a time?

If you answered yes to these questions, Doyle School Community Center would like to talk to you. Doyle Center is a non-profit organization located on the corner of Paschal and Barnett in Kerrville.

This program can use qualified mentors in the mornings and in the afternoons. The morning program will be a one on one scheduled program. The afternoon program is more flexible. About 20 to 25 students come in the afternoons to receive help on their homework or just to have someone with a good heart and soul listen to them read. The students range from second grade to junior high school. This job requires a volunteer who is a self starter and is not put off by a slow beginning.

Doyle Center is working to develop relationships between the tutors and the students. Most of the students are from lower income backgrounds. The tutors usually spend one or two days a week with their students. The Center provides some snacks and computers with learning software from 3:30 to 5:30 Monday through Friday.

 If you are interested, please contact Patrick Cass, the Executive Director at the Doyle School Community Center. His office hours are from 9:30 to 5:30. The phone at the Center is (830) 257-4446.

A criminal background check is required for this volunteer position for the safety of the children and the volunteers. Call or come in to visit and see what we are trying to do.
