Volunteer

Volunteer in the classroom:

Our primary need is for long term volunteers who can commit to at least a semester (ideally, the whole school year) on a consistent basis. Committing to a semester/school year allows volunteers to build relationships with students, staff and program partners, and become a real part of our dynamic community. Here's what we're looking for:

Overview:  A Volunteer Classroom Assistant acts as another adult in the classroom to support the teacher, working with a group of students in the classroom.  
Days/Times: Hours are flexible and can fit your schedule. Daily school hours are M, T, TH, F 9:15 - 2:00 pm, W 9:15-12:30 pm. We ask for a minimum 2 hour/week commitment.
Requirements: Willingness to work with newcomers and continuation school student population in a classroom setting; minimum commitment of 2 hour/week for an entire semester (preferred full-year).
