Academic Volunteers
On weekdays, academic volunteers work one-on-one with students on a daily enrichment curriculum which focuses on the basics of literacy and math as well as college and career preparation and daily homework assignments. On Saturdays, academic volunteers assist with nutrition, life skills and more. No prior tutoring or squash experience is required. 
Service & Event Volunteers
SquashSmarts organizes a variety of service projects and special events for our students throughout the year. Volunteers play a fun and vital role with activities like: Philly Spring Clean Up, Junior Squash Tournaments, Graduation, the BestShotBall. This is an ideal fit for individuals who can't commit to our afternoon sessions! |
Squash Volunteers
Squash volunteers drill, practice and share their love of squash with one or two students per session. They may also help with fitness testing and lead individual and group exercises. A basic knowledge of the sport of squash is required for squash volunteers. 
Group Volunteer Opportunities
We welcome your company, organization, squash team, etc. to plan a group volunteer project with us! For groups of 10-100, we'll design a meaningful experience in the classroom and on the squash court, or build a day around your specific service interests! For more information, please click here |
