PLACEMENT PURPOSE
The Pillowcase Project is a national program that provides emergency-preparedness education to youth in grades 3-5 in school and after-school settings. In a highly interactive format, the program addresses fire safety, local hazards, coping skills and making a personal emergency kit in a pillowcase supplied by the programs. Volunteers for this program conduct outreach to communities, meet and discuss the curriculum with school officials, and then present the program to youths. Individuals who are comfortable with public speaking and working with elementary-age students, possess excellent written and verbal communication skills, and can work in an engaging and dynamic educational environment are sought. A background in teaching or instruction is helpful, but not required.
