Volunteer: Afternoon Reading Club FALL 2025- Help Us Change the World!!!!

Welcome to Purpose Learning Lab Literacy Program,

The reading buddies program allows older students the opportunity to develop fluency as well as a sense of pride in their accomplishments. In addition, they often come to see the value of reading. Students can not only promote good practices but gain self-esteem. Repeatedly reading easier books has been shown to improve reading abilities in poor readers, and this program provides students with a reason to read easier books.

Reading to younger students can help them develop a love of reading and a greater motivation to read. Younger students should also read to their older buddies each week, as this allows younger readers to feel a sense of accomplishment while they build fluency. Because the program provides success in literacy, students often become more positive about their ability to read and may also improve their reading skills. Ideally, buddy visits will be ongoing, and older and younger students will become familiar with one another and nurture a mutual interest in reading.

Volunteer: Iron Breaking Volunteers Needed

We are looking for volunteers to help us prepare for our biggest event of the year! On Tuesdays, from 5:30 to 8:30pm, come to Liberty Arts to participate in Iron Breaking.

Liberty Arts' 9th Annual Iron Pour is coming up on November 15th, 2025. In order to run an Iron Pour, our organization needs dozens of buckets of chip-sized pieces of iron. We receive larger pieces of iron through donations (radiators, bathtubs, etc) and these need to be broken down into small pieces. These small pieces of iron will be melted to create metal sculptures during our 9th Annual Iron Pour.

This volunteer opportunity is a physical activity. You'll be smashing metal scrap using hammers! We provide safety gear (glasses, face shields, and shoe coverings), but ask that you wear thicker clothing like denim, and closed-toe shoes/boots. 

This opportunity is a great stress reliever. Take out some of your frustrations and support the arts all at once!

Volunteer: URGENT: StrongHER TogetHER Driver

One of the biggest obstacles to participation in activities outside of school for many youth is transportation. To address this for our participants, the StrongHER TogetHER Driver Pool assists youth with transportation needs to our program's activities and/or extracurricular learning activities that are funded through our program. We typically try to maintain a pool of about five drivers. When opportunities arise to assist the students, we send out a group text with the details to see who is available to help. Priority is given to drivers who have been licensed for 3+ years.

Drivers in the pool must complete a background check, a DMV check, and provide proof of a valid license and insurance information. This is a paid position with a time commitment of ~6-10 hours per month. (We are posting this as an urgent need because we typically have a driver pool of 5, however most of last year's pool has graduated. Thank you for considering if this opportunity is right for you.)

Volunteer: Afternoon Reading Club- Help Us Change the World!!!!

Welcome to Purpose Learning Lab Literacy Program,

The reading buddies program allows older students the opportunity to develop fluency as well as a sense of pride in their accomplishments. In addition, they often come to see the value of reading. Students can not only promote good practices but gain self-esteem. Repeatedly reading easier books has been shown to improve reading abilities in poor readers, and this program provides students with a reason to read easier books.

Reading to younger students can help them develop a love of reading and a greater motivation to read. Younger students should also read to their older buddies each week, as this allows younger readers to feel a sense of accomplishment while they build fluency. Because the program provides success in literacy, students often become more positive about their ability to read and may also improve their reading skills. Ideally, buddy visits will be ongoing, and older and younger students will become familiar with one another and nurture a mutual interest in reading.

2023-2024 Winter/ Spring Hours
