PEP is searching for committed volunteers who can dedicate their time to help students succeed. The PEP after-school elementary program is a collaboration between the Learning Resource Center of Polk County, Inc. and the Public Education Partnership of Winter Haven, Inc.
The program runs Monday-Thursday weekly from 3:30-5:30 p.m. with the exception of school holidays. It is set up so that students in grades 1-3 attend on Mondays and Wednesdays, while students in grades 4-5 attend on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Groups of students rotate through four stations each day (playground and snack, computers, homework, elective) with one of the six teachers.
Opportunities include:
- Playground assistants, 3:30-4:00 p.m. - 4-6 volunteers
- Teacher assistants (rotate with students), 4:00-5:30 p.m. - 6 volunteers
- Stationary assistants (help with homework; assist 1:1), 4:00-5:30 p.m. - 2-4 volunteers
This is a great opportunity for those looking to give back, high school students working on community service hours, college students looking for experience, and those with free time on their hands.
We hope that you will consider this opportunity and help us spread the word. If you are interested in volunteering with PEP, please contact Audrey Nettlow at Audrey@whpep.org.

Mission Statement
The Learning Resource Center of Polk County, Inc. helps students maximize their learning potential by providing personalized educational programs, consultative services for parents, and programs to accommodate community needs.
Description
The Learning Resource Center of Polk County, Inc . (LRC) was founded by the Junior League of Greater Lakeland, Inc. in 1975 to help students by providing personalized supplemental education programs and consulting services for parents. At that time it was known as the Learning Disabilities Center and its primary purpose was to serve students with specific learning disabilities and provide support for their parents. The name changed in 1977 as programs for the learning disabled grew in the public school system and LRC expanded its services to help all students maximize their learning potential.
From its humble beginnings as a small volunteer group working in borrowed space, LRC today has over 500 certified teachers who provide countywide services to over 4,000 students ages five through adult.
