Become a Luke's Leaders Mentor!
2024-25 School Year
This fall, the week of September 9, we will be kicking off the next year of Luke's Leaders!
Luke’s Leaders is a weekly, after-school leadership development initiative created by the Outreach and Justice Ministry of St. Luke’s UMC. We work with a variety of community partners, such as the YMCA of Greater Indianapolis and Peace Learning Center, to bring this leadership development programming to students of Washington Township, aged 10 to 14. Through a combination of hands-on experiences, mentorship, and partnerships with local youth-serving organizations, we aim to equip young people with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to create meaningful changes.
Are you interested in joining us as a volunteer?
Here are some basics:
- Student sessions will be on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights. The Wednesday sessions are at St Luke’s from 5-6:30 pm, the Tuesday and Thursday programs are held at the schools – Northview, Westlane, and Eastwood from 4:30-6pm.
- Your role as a volunteer includes attending 2/3rds of the sessions, get to know students, develop trusting relationships, engage in all facilitated activities along with the students as guided by the facilitators, and call out and address exceptions to expectations.
- NEW this year – we need 6 volunteer drivers! Help us shuttle students on Wednesday nights in one of our newly purchased passenger vans. These vans are like driving an SUV or minivan and DO NOT require a special license or training.
