Step Up to Support Foster Youth: Volunteer with EDIFY

At KVC West Virginia, we believe every child deserves the chance to thrive. That’s why we created the EDIFY Program, a unique initiative providing foster youth in grades 3-7 with mentorship, academic support, and encouragement. These resilient students have often fallen behind due to the unpredictable nature of foster care—frequent school changes, disrupted learning, and instability. With your help, we can change that.

Why We Need You

EDIFY currently pairs former foster youth, now in college, with younger students for tutoring and mentorship. While this model has been successful, we understand that as non-educators, we cannot achieve the level of impact needed without your expertise. This expertise is essential to improving outcomes and meeting the unique needs of these students. Your understanding of working with youth who have faced educational challenges can help them catch up, build confidence, and realize their potential.

How You Can Make a Difference

Volunteers can give as much or as little time as they like. Opportunities include:

  • Assessing students to identify their needs and creating tailored learning plans.
  • Communicating with schools, case managers, and foster parents.
  • Setting short- and long-term goals to inspire progress.
  • Tutoring, mentoring, and SEL development.
  • Offering support wherever it’s needed.

Fully Supported Volunteering

No need to worry about technology—EDIFY is 100% virtual, and we’ll provide all the tools you need, including access to premium learning resources like IXL and Newsela. You’ll also receive training and ongoing support to feel confident and comfortable with the technology.

Experience

  • Retired educator, all grade levels (special education experience is a plus but not required).
  • Background in mentoring, tutoring, or individualized educational planning.
  • Skilled in collaborative and supportive guidance.
  • Passionate about supporting the growth of students in foster care.

This Is Your Chance to Change Lives

By volunteering with EDIFY, you’re not just helping foster youth succeed academically—you’re giving them hope for a brighter future.

Additional Information

This is a non-paid, 100% virtual volunteer position. Mentors will have full access to all programs we use in tutoring, including the Microsoft product suite. Mentors are required to complete a background check as required by the Department of Human Services (DoHS).
