Children's Programs
SKIT:
Over half of all AACH clients are children, and over half of these children are less than six years old. In response to the needs of these children, AACH has developed a comprehensive program called SKIT. SKIT stands for Support for Kids in Transition. SKIT volunteers assist children living at Sullivan House with positive, educational and recreational activities. Activities include arts and crafts projects, game playing, esteem building and outdoor fun. Volunteers are needed Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Regular and flexible schedules can be arranged.
Homework Help/Tutoring:
Tutors are often needed to help children with their school work. One-on-one assignments are made throughout the year and require a six month commitment. Tutoring sessions are held weekly at a time that is convenient for the student and volunteer.
Field Trips:
This program gives AACH families a chance to visit local places of interest including the National Zoo, Smithsonian Museums, parks, and more. At least two field trips are planned per month and they usually occur on weekends. Field trips generally utilize 5-10 volunteers and involve 5-10 clients.
