Plans for the 2013-2014 school year is well underway and so is the Discovery Program! Discovery is a volunteer-led Saturday morning tutoring program that offers one-on-one and small group enrichment activities for children.
We are in need of committed volunteers to adopt a school and help with our active and developing programs. Our goal is to have a one-on-one volunteer to student ratio, allowing for individualized attention and the building of relationship between student and volunteer.
To sign up for volunteer opportunities available at our participating schools, register at www.handsonatlanta.org or contact the Discovery Program Coordinator below.

Description
The Hands On Atlanta Discovery Program is a volunteer-led Saturday tutoring and enrichment program that supports Monday - Friday instruction throughhomework assistance, tutoring, educational games, and enrichment through field trips and service-learning projects. Sessions occur two or three Saturdays per month for two hours (10am - noon). Our goal is to get as close to one-on-one volunteer to student ratio as possible to allow for more individualized attention and to develop relationships between students and adult volunteers. Students are divided up by grade level and the activities for each grade are planned by grade captains who manage the classroom activities. During the months of March and April, the Discovery Program supports the schools’ needs by providing students with CRCT (Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests from the Georgia Performance Standards) practice. Students are engaged in math, language arts, social studies and science.
