Volunteers Needed for Jumpstart

07.25.24 | Students | Ways to Serve | For Pinellas | Give in Love

    Jumpstart is our middle school academic support ministry. The program offers students extra encouragement and tutoring in a safe environment. Can you help us offering academic support to students in our community?

    Adult Supervisors

    Adult Supervisors oversee mentors and middle school students to make sure students and mentors are on task and that we’re providing a productive work environment. Adults with teaching or tutoring background can also help provide academic support. Let us know on the registration form if you have teaching experience and your area of expertise.

    HELP MAKE A MEAL

    We're looking for volunteers and groups to provide main dishes and possibly sides for students and mentors. Sunday school classes, small groups and other groups can work together to cover a meal! Meals can be things like a taco bar, ham and cheese sliders, baked ziti, spaghetti and meatballs, BBQ chicken sandwiches, chicken and rice dishes, etc. The church provides salad and dessert.

    There are several flexible ways for your group or family to help.

    • Cook the meal at the church using our industrial kitchen
    • Prepare food at home using crock pots, your own serving dishes, or aluminum foil disposable containers WE PROVIDE.
    • You prep the meal and we'll cook it on Tuesday evenings.
    • You can donate food or be reimbursed by the church.

    Several of the meals are being covered by Martha's Loving Hearts and we serve pizzas on the last Tuesday of very month. Contact us if you're interested in taking on one of the remaining dates.
