Horton's Kids

*Now Looking for Volunteers for Fall 2026 Semester!

---

Horton’s Kids empowers children growing up in DC’s most under-resourced communities so that they graduate from high school ready for success in college, career, and life. We serve 600 children and their families living in Wellington Park & Stanton Oaks – neighborhoods that have been profoundly impacted by decades of disinvestment and barriers to opportunity.

The Horton’s Kids Academics team looks for consistent volunteers who can commit to coming to our programs in Southeast DC each week to support our high-intensity tutoring efforts. We ask that volunteers make a year-long commitment, with flexibility for people in college.

Tutors will assist the Youth Programs Team with executing high quality programs that serve kids K-12 in the after-school space. HK Volunteers will tutor participants, assist teachers as they deliver instruction, and provide general program support. You will also act as a consistent adult role model in the students’ lives who they can look up to and lean on for guidance.

If you are passionate about empowering youth and can commit to volunteering once a week, this is a great opportunity for you!
