Summer Program Needs
If you're looking for a hands-on way to see how your donations help, consider volunteering with our kids this year.
Our Reading Buddy program allows for individualized learning time for each of our students. This happens from 11:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m. on Mondays-Thursdays each week of our program. If you are interested in being a Reading Buddy this summer please select a day on our sign-up sheet.
Our Guest Reader program is designed to have role models from the community read to our students. This happens during our morning Harambee time from 8:30 a.m.-9:15 a.m. We choose a book for the Guest Reader to read that relates to our theme, “My Family, My Community, My World.” If you are interested in being a Guest Reader this summer please select a day and join us!
Field Trips: We take our students on field trips every Friday during our 6-week summer program. Most field trips will leave our summer site in the mornings and return early afternoon. Following field trips, volunteers can assist with our weekly incentive store to help reward students for their good behavior.
Family Engagement: This program is designed for students and their family members. It is held every Thursday from 5:30 p.m.-7:00 p.m. during the summer. Volunteers are needed to help teachers in classrooms with literacy activities while parents are participating in workshops with our staff.
