ASAS Puget Sound welcomes energetic volunteers to engage with the 7th and 8th grade students in our programs at Meeker Middle School in Renton (within Kent School District). In addition to an hour of academic tutoring, we also offer a second hour of enrichment and physical activity programs. Each quarterly session throughout the school year, students enroll in the second-hour program(s) of their choice. The specific programs we offer depend on student interest/demand, partnership resources, and skill sets of our program instructors. Popular recurring offerings include career exploration, sports, cooking, art and culture club. Volunteers are welcome during the following times:
MON/TUES/THURS:
3:10 – 3:30 PM: Student sign-in
3:30 – 4:30 PM: Academic Hour
4:30 – 5:30 PM: Enrichment Hour
WED (students have an early release this day):
1:15 – 1:30 PM: Student sign-in
1:30 – 2:30 PM: Academic Hour

Volunteers can provide tutoring support during our academic hour and/or engage with students in our sports, cooking, and other programs during our enrichment hour. ASAS Puget Sound can also schedule the following special activities:
Career Panelist: Help students make connections between educational choices and career paths by sharing your personal academic and professional tracks, skill set(s) and tips for success.
WonderKit Team Leader: Each volunteer is paired up with a group of students to lead STEM-based WonderKit activities.
All volunteers must:
- Read and sign the ASAS Volunteer Information & Conduct Policy Form; and
- Complete the Volunteers in Public Schools application and background check, per the requirements of Kent School District.
