At Corazón we believe in serving the heart of the community – young people and their families. We know that you want to connect in a meaningful way and that this connection needs to be real and make a difference.

Connect today in a way that has meaning for you:


• The After School BLAST Program serves children ages 6-11. We need volunteers to help with literacy projects, reading circles, and projects. Our young people struggle with learning English and need as much support as we can provide. Is this where you connect? Then contact Izzy Vargas today at (708) 656-1400 or ivargasjr@corazoncs.org

• Wednesday Tutoring is a new program we are launching this school year. We want to provide our young people with as much educational support as possible including more intensive one-on-one or small group tutoring. Do you remember your Jr. High math? How about the U.S. Constitution? Maybe your high school days were your best subject areas.

WE NEED YOU! Call Edith Soto at (708) 656-1400 or esoto@corazoncs.org

internship

At Corazón we provide you with a rich, multi-dimensional social work experience; from community organizing, to case management, group work, macro-level and micro-level projects to individual and family counseling opportunities.

This experience is not for all. You must have a desire to work with youth, be comfortable working with people of color, possess a high level of motivation, be open to learning and have a consistent schedule to complete your internship hours. Because our community is over 85% Latino, being able to speak Spanish is certainly highly recommended, although not an absolute must.

Think you have what it takes? Then email your resume today to Mary Johnson, mjohnson@corazoncs.org.
