ORGANIZATION: We Connect The Dots

What will be expected of me as a volunteer?

As a volunteer, you would be expected to help and mentor students by being interactive and supportive during the program when the students need help by having the opportunity to learn how to inspire students to be life-long learners. Some of the examples you may be assigned to do is mentoring students, setting up and cleaning up before and after the program.

Do I have to have coding skills to volunteer?

No, coding skills are not required, but certainly are a plus if you have them. Either way you will learn through participating with the students. The most important skill or requirement is the desire to help students learn and motivate them to be successful. You will come away with new skills such as learning to code and organizational skills that you can apply in the workforce. Our program incorporates a variety of team building activities that support our goal to engage students to work collaboratively. The result is that by volunteering you will benefit from the experience and come away with valuable skills.
