Volunteer
At ARK we are always looking for volunteers that are interested in fulfilling the following roles:
Program Facilitator
Mentors
School Uniform Drive
Partner
ARK partners with local schools to provide students with access to transformative programs, mentorship, leadership development, and real-world opportunities that extend beyond the classroom.
By working alongside educators, administrators, and community organizations, ARK DC helps create supportive environments where students can develop confidence, critical life skills, career awareness, and pathways toward long-term success.
These partnerships are designed to complement the important work schools are already doing by providing enrichment opportunities focused on leadership development, mentorship, personal growth, workforce readiness, and social-emotional support.
Donate
Every donation helps create opportunities for young people to grow, lead, and thrive. Through mentorship, leadership development, housing support, educational programming, and life skills training, your generosity directly impacts the lives of youth and young women working to build brighter futures.
By investing in ARK DC, you are helping provide the resources, support systems, and transformative experiences needed to empower the next generation with confidence, stability, and opportunity.
Together, we can break cycles, expand possibilities, and create stronger communities for years to come.
Women Empower
Women Empower x ARK: Nurturing Leaders — EmpowerHER
Women Empower is a community of bold, purpose-driven women who believe in the power of showing up for the next generation. Through their partnership with ARK - Advancing Resilience & Knowledge, Women Empower members serve as mentors for middle and high school girls navigating real-life challenges — from family instability and incarceration to foster care, addiction, and abandonment.
As a mentor, you don't need all the answers. You just need to show up — consistently, wholeheartedly, and with a heart for impact. Your presence, encouragement, and lived experience can help a young girl recognize the strength and potential that already lives within her.
If you feel called to lead through service, this is your moment.
Join Women Empower and help change the trajectory of a young woman's life. Because sometimes, one caring adult makes all the difference.
