Little+Big Bruins
Serving to Partner with Neighboring Schools and Kids
Our organized volunteer opportunities seek to encourage the well-being of youth, George Fox volunteers and school counselors/teachers alike by establishing trusting relationships and opportunities to encourage and empower each other.
Little+Big Bruins
Over the years, George Fox students have shown up in so many helpful, supportive ways to bless the lives of not only students in the Newberg Public School District, but also School Counselors, Teachers and Administrators.
1-to-1 Pairing/mentorship
George Fox students have volunteered by being paired together with a student in need of a role-model, positive reinforcement, trustworthy presence and consistency of support to not only their lives, but the work of School Counselors & Teachers as well.
Volunteer Coaching & Club Advising
George Fox students volunteer to:
- Co-lead, supervise and referee various activities (i.e. soccer, basketball, board games, etc.)
- Start, advise and/or supervise a club (i.e. Lego robotics, Kiwanis Kids, Magic, the Gathering, etc.)
- Lead team-building challenges for student leaders (i.e. fifth- or eighth-graders, etc).
Volunteers can show up one morning (late-start Wednesday) or one after-school hour once a week, or whatever is lined up with the School Counselor and works for the Little Bruin.
Homework Helpers
George Fox students have volunteered to academically tutor elementary or middle school students one-on-one or in group settings before or after school.
Special Projects
George Fox students have volunteered to help with special projects such as office clean-up, painting, fixing furniture, organizing, arranging, filing/administrative work, classroom decorating, or other tasks that would relieve, assist and encourage local school teachers and counselors.
