Our S.P.A.R.K. (Support Program for Art and Reading with Kids) is in great need of volunteers to work with our kiddos grades Kindergarten-5th. S.P.A.R.K. operates Monday-Thursday from 3:15 to 5:45 and focuses on homework help, reading comprehension, art, and creative play. Volunteers are invited to serve as mentors and tutors and will assist students with homework assignments, and increasing reading comprehension and writing skills. Volunteers will also engage with students through crafts, recreation, and game play. During the summer months S.P.A.R.K. extends to an all-day program. The focus still remains on reading skills, but the kids also take weekly field trips. Children are also given two full meals and a snack to combat the increased risk of food insecurity during the summer months.

Each Tuesday and Thursday, we distribute groceries to an average of 300 families here at The Urban Mission. Families line up at our gate hours before we open, and often the line of cars spills on to Portland, blocking businesses and creating traffic flow issues for the entire block. We have worked to design a flow of cars through our parking lot in order to most efficiently clear the road, and we need volunteers to help us carry this plan out. If you are able to stand for long periods of time, are okay being outside in the Oklahoma weather, and can help direct our clients with kindness and efficiency, we would love to have you join us!
