Super Subs
Due to the end of college semesters, a majority of our academic tutors leave at the end of November and April. This allows a "Super Sub" to fill those shoes during the months of December and May. This is a great opportunity for people who can't commit for the entire semester. There is no minimum time commitment. You can choose to volunteer for one session up to the entire month!
Please contact volunteer@onhh.org with any questions!
Alumni Mentor
As our high school graduates enter college, they will need NHH support more than ever. Many of these students will be the first in their family to attend college and are in need of a mentor to help them navigate college life and encourage them along the way. We are looking for community members who can commit to meeting with first generation college students once or twice a month (based on your own availability) to act as a mentor in their life.
To learn more, please email volunteer@onhh.org.
