Summer Program Volunteer Needs
Reading Buddies: Reading Buddies tutor students 1-on-1 daily from 11:30am-1:00pm. Buddies are needed Tuesday and Thursday and are asked to commit to at least one day but are encouraged to come both days. Buddies must attend a few hours of training and have a successful background check performed. No prior teaching or tutoring experience is required! Food set-up and break down: Volunteers are needed to prepare and set-up light dinner for weekly Family Events during the 6-week summer program. Some volunteers are needed at 3 pm and 5 pm to set-up and until 7:00 to clean up. Field Trip Chaperones: Field trip chaperones are needed every Friday during the 6-week program. Chaperones must have a successful background check and commit to at least 2 of the 6 field trips. Activity Teachers: If you have a special talent or hobby you would like to teach, please let us know. Activities happen in the afternoon. Ideally, we look for Activity Teachers who would like to do a one-week project or can commit to a regular schedule of two days a week for the whole program.
