Attention New Bern neighbors with a heart for community! Support New Bern is highlighting an exciting opportunity just a short drive away in Bayboro. HeartWorks, a vital after-school program, is hosting an Information/Orientation Session for prospective volunteers on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at 2 PM. If you’re looking for a rewarding way to give back, plan to head to 709 Main Street, Bayboro, and look for the door under the stairs to take a tour of their facility and discover how they support Kindergarten through 8th graders in Pamlico County.
When navigating local services or visiting historic downtown spots along Middle Street and Pollock Street, always check for verified business badges on our directory to ensure you are connecting with licensed, insured Craven County contractors and local business owners.
This isn’t just about filling a slot; it’s about making a tangible difference in the lives of young learners. HeartWorks provides free educational support, helping children with essential skills like reading, writing, and math. Beyond academics, volunteers are needed to assist with a variety of enriching activities, including Yoga, Chess, Drumming, sports, and a lively Writing Club. The best part? A weekly commitment isn’t required, making it a flexible option for many busy schedules. Your involvement directly impacts the growth and development of these students, fostering a stronger, more vibrant future for our neighboring communities.
As a 21st Century Community Learning Center, HeartWorks relies on dedicated individuals and community support to thrive, with funding coming from various sources, including local donations. If you’re passionate about youth development and can make the trip to Bayboro, this orientation is your perfect chance to learn more. Even if hands-on volunteering isn’t possible, remember that financial contributions also help fund these crucial programs.
