Summer Alumni Volunteer Application 2026

We welcome all alumni who have completed sixth grade to fill out an application to volunteer during the 5th term. 

This application will remain open from March 1-March 31, 2026. There are a limited number of volunteer assignments available, so applications will be evaluated in the order they are submitted and completed.

We will attempt to accommodate as many volunteers as possible, which means some volunteers may only be assigned to the month of June or only assigned to the month of July. Exceptions may be made for returning volunteers and Step Up participants.

Applicants must submit a copy of their most recent progress report as a part of the application process; applications without a report card are considered incomplete, and the applicant will not be considered for volunteer assignment. Applicants may be asked to demonstrate improvement in one or more subject areas in order to qualify for a volunteer assignment.

Applicants will be contacted by the Alumni Coordinator, Mr. Maurice Cotton, after completing the application. Any questions about the application process can be directed to him by emailing [email protected].

Job Description:

Alumni volunteers are an essential part of the Meerkat family. They bring both enthusiasm and their capability to act as mature role models. They also bring an extra set of hands to help our team members maximize the fun and academic success of the summer programming for our scholars.

Alumni volunteers will assist one or more team members with the activities that scholars will be involved in or around the building. Volunteers will be asked to complete tasks, assist in the classroom and/or assist with afternoon activities. It is important for the volunteer to be responsible, honest, trustworthy, and respectful. Volunteers will remain with their designated assignments unless otherwise assigned.
