Family First is a collaboration between Family Centers and Greenwich Public Schools. The students enrolled are committed to the program five days a week with a goal of closing the achievement gap by providing supportive services to them and their families. We are seeking Tutors to assist K-5 students attending this program. Tutors will provide academic support in math and reading for students on an as needed basis. Tutoring shifts are available Monday through Thursday (You pick the day but please stick with that same day each week so the students have some consistency) from 4:00 - 5:00 pm and locations include Julian Curtiss School, Hamilton Avenue School or New Lebanon School (volunteers can choose, all elementary schools are located in Greenwich, CT). The program is looking for tutors who would like to volunteer one day a week and is willing to commit for an 8-week cycle of volunteering. Instruction and activities are designed expressly to promote subject mastery, develop grade-level competencies and to teach study skills.

The Den for Grieving Kids provides vital services to families in lower Fairfield County creating a safe environment for children, teens, parents and caregivers to discuss their bereavement issues. On-going supervision and instruction help the facilitators develop their capacity to be a helpful presence to the bereaved. We offer two types of facilitator positions: the nights of service facilitator and the school based group facilitator. Nights of service facilitators are asked to commit to either a Monday or Wednesday evening schedule (meeting twice a month from 6:00-9:00pm). The evening consists of a pre and post meeting between facilitators and staff to both prepare and debrief about the interaction with participants. If interested, please reach out to Tyler Shanafelt at tshanafelt@familycenters.org School based group facilitators commit to a weekly schedule of about one hour onsite at their assigned school, with some preparation time required outside of the school visit. Currently there are Den groups taking place in schools in the greater Greenwich/Stamford area. The time for this position varies slightly from week to week so students do not consistently miss the same class. If interested, please reach out to Tyler Shanafelt at tshanafelt@familycenters.org The Den hosts trainings for new and returning volunteers. If you are interested in becoming a facilitator, please reach out to Tyler Shanafelt at tshanafelt@familycenters.org, to inquire about becoming a Den Facilitator.
