JFS is looking for committed volunteers to provide mentoring and tutoring support to students enrolled in Math Academy, an after-school program for 4th grade students at the Woodrow Wilson Elementary School in Framingham. Stand up for those left behind and share your skills with a student in need! To get a first hand account of what it's like to volunteer with this program, check out this great video: http://tinyurl.com/Wilsonvideo.
As a volunteer, your role would be to work with a small group of 4-5 students on math concepts such as number sense and operations. You will assist the students in understanding the material, ensuring they stay on task and support them with general needs. Most of all you’ll be a positive role model, develop meaningful relationships with the students, and show them that learning is fun. This is a once a week commitment, Tuesday or Wednesday afternoons from 2:45/3:00pm-5:15pm. Training, CORI and reference checks required. School year commitment.

Mission Statement
Jewish Family Service of Metrowest (JFS) provides vital social, health and community services to alleviate suffering, enhance lives and support people in need.
Description
For over 30 years, JFS has served the Metrowest communities of Framingham and surrounding towns. From its start -- providing information and referral for elders. --JFS has transformed into a multi-service agency providing social, health and community services for people of all ages, faiths and backgrounds. JFS provides services to ALL people in need of assistance within our community, regardless of religious affiliation, with a special focus on frail elders and vulnerable children.

JFS delivers services throughout Metrowest; 80% are provided outside the agency walls. Services target diverse populations across the life cycle, ranging from young children to frail elders. Most JFS clients are served without cost or at a significantly subsidized rate. Programs include:
