Join us! At The GreenHouse, you will gain first-hand experience working in a low-income community, addressing the needs and challenges of its youth. Volunteers at The GreenHouse impact students through tutoring, mentoring, and leadership development. Falling behind in school because of limited resources can negatively affect self-esteem and determination in adolescents.

"R4," the after-school program runs on Tuesdays from 3:00-4:30pm and Thursdays from 3:00-5:30pm. At R4, teens are partnered with an adult volunteer who helps them with homework and develops a mentoring relationship with them. Students also improve academic skills and participate in enrichment workshops. The four Rs in R4 stand for: Relationships (building positive relationships with peers and mentors), Reading/ Writing/ Arithmetic (achieving greater competency in academic skills), Resources (accessing the resources needed to achieve future success), and Realizing (realizing our full potential together).

Description

The GreenHouse is located at the heart of a community of amazing strength, resilience and creativity.
This block is home to more than 1000 people, many of whom have recently immigrated from as many as
a dozen countries around the world. The diversity of languages, foods, experiences, and perspectives
here is vibrant.

We have students in GreenHouse programs from a diversity of countries and backgrounds, including
Mexico, Guatemala, Afghanistan, Ukraine, India, and Russia. We also have African-American, Native-

of our greatest assets, a powerful gift that our community offers to greater Sacramento.
