REACH mentoring program REACH matches middle and high school students with adult volunteer tutors/mentors. Together the pairs work on school projects and homework, build literacy and math skills with REACH curriculum, and begin to think about college. Volunteers must be college graduates or current college students. They must also be creative, flexible and have a lot of patience. All tutoring/mentoring takes place on-site at our Beacon program (154 West 93rd Street) one evening per week (6-7:30 pm), September to June. Click here to see the Volunteer Job Description.

Holiday Meals Every Thanksgiving and Christmas over 1,000 New Yorkers, including many who are homeless, share a meal at Goddard Riverside. These extraordinary community celebrations are made possible with help from volunteers who contribute in a variety of ways – from the overall planning to preparing food and serving it to dropping off a special dessert. To find out how you can become involved, contact Ernie Greizman by e-mail c/o: vfaison@goddard.org or by phone 212-873-6600, extension 370.
