Volunteer in preschools to help children succeed!

Project Description:
Community Corps is an innovative program that trains volunteers to make a lasting difference in the lives of children. In the Corps Member position, volunteers work with children ages 3-5, helping them build language, literacy, and social skills that they need to succeed. By volunteering just two days a week during the 2012-2013 school year you can change the course of a child's life! Typical activities include: working on a team of 4-7 peers; reading to children in small groups; singing songs; reading poems; playing games that build literacy skills; leading art activities; and meeting with fellow teammates to prepare for sessions. We will train you to implement high quality sessions, coach and support you along the way, and provide opportunities for ongoing skill building. [Stipends may be available for volunteers who qualify - pending approval].
