Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteer Opportunities
At Elon, we are committed to giving back to the community; not just at Elon, but in the greater Alamance area. We have a partnership with the Kernodle Center for Civic Life for a weekly volunteer opportunity, as well as a semesterly donation drive. All students are encouraged to participate.
To participate in any events or for additional information, please contact elcentro@elon.edu
CityGate Dream Center
The Dream Center is a hub of activity for the Latinx/Hispanic community within Alamance County. Their dream is to create a sense of belonging within our community so that we can inspire, develop, train, and advocate for Latinx/Hispanic children, students, and families in Alamance County.
Volunteer Opportunities began in Fall 2022 with the CityGate Dream Center as a partnership between El Centro and the Kernodle Center for Civic Life. After school mentoring will be at the Dream Center every Wednesday from 6-8pm.
If you have any questions, or would like to volunteer with the Dream Center, reach out to Kyle Anderson, Associate Director of the Kernodle Center for Civic Life, (kanderson52@elon.edu).
Semesterly Donation Drive
We also have a semesterly Donation Drive for the Dream Center. Each year, donations have looked different (diaper drive, school supply drive, feminine hygiene products drive) but has always been successful!
Alamance County Public Libraries
Every month, students from El Centro visit the Alamance County Public Libraries to read stories to children and families in English and Spanish. These readings increase biliteracy in Alamance County and are a fun way for our students to give back to our community.
