What they do: Members of ASG mentor at-risk elementary school kids in after school programs.  They provide homework help and organize activities such as crafts and kickball. 

What YOU can do to help: If you are a student at the University of Florida, you can become a member of this service organization and volunteer to mentor and create fun activities for children in after-school programs who need your help and encouragement.  Volunteers commit to volunteering 2 hours a week between 2:00 and 5:30 (Wednesday starts at 12:30 instead of 2).  There are five schools where After School Gators volunteer:
