New HYTEs Staff/Volunteer Application Academic Year 2025-26

Volunteer/Staff Application

Academic Year 2025-26
Volunteer for New HYTEs After-School Program– gain valuable leadership skills while giving back to the community!
Note: If you have previously volunteered with New HYTEs during the summer or academic year, and would like to volunteer again, just email us to let us know the day you can volunteer and any preferred area(s) of focus (math, reading, badminton, tennis, place me where most needed, etc.). Please write to both swratten@newhytes.org and lhurwitz95@gmail.com. We look forward to working with you again!

If you are a potential new volunteer, welcome! Please proceed with filling out this application. Ideally, volunteers commit to coming 1x per week for at least a season (fall, winter, or spring) but longer is better when possible so the students can get to know you. If you are under 18, please make sure your parent/guardian is aware of your volunteering plans.
