Each Monday through Thursday from 4:00-6:00pm, we offer an after school support program that engages middle school and high school students. Volunteers not only help our students with homework, but also with Canal Alliance sponsored projects.
In addition, we have college students who need one on one help arranged on a case by case basis.
Additional responsibilities during program include preparing snacks and refreshments, supervising groups during outdoor and indoor activities, helping with clean-up. Volunteers should work well under limited supervision with both students and staff.
All of these would be great opportunities for college students who are currently studying education, or currently retired professionals from the educational field. We do also invite high school students, preferably ages 16 and over, to work with our middle school program.
Volunteers should be available at least one full shift per week beginning January 17 through late May. While being familiar with Spanish is helpful, it is not required. Volunteers ages 18+ will be required to undergo a background check which includes fingerprinting. Volunteers that are willing to transport students for field trips are required to provide a copy of his or her DL and insurance. Driving is not a required responsibility. Patience and flexibility are musts.
