Crossing Guards for Walk to End Genocide
ORGANIZATION: Volunteer Center of Sonoma County
Please visit the new page to apply.
The purpose of the Walk is to help Jewish World Watch educate and raise awareness of ongoing atrocities in Syria, Sudan, South Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Participants advocate for change and raise funds for projects that provide relief, education, and support in conflict-affected areas, in particular for women and children.
The annual event, held every spring in cities from Los Angeles to Washington, DC, mobilizes anti-genocide activists, youth and community leaders of all ages and faiths- Jews, Christians, Muslims and more - all of whom share the vision of a world which does Not Stand Idly By while genocides continue.
The event is April 23rd, 2017. The time of the event is 9-11am with check in beginning at 7:45am. Any previous crossing guard or crowd control experience would be preferable.

Description
Work in the classroom under the direction of the teacher helping students with reading and/or math. This requires a commitment of 1 hr./wk for a school semester. Volunteers must be fingerprinted.
The Literacy Connection Academic Mentor program has just completed 12 years of recruiting, training, and preparing volunteers to go into the classrooms of Sonoma County K-12 schools. This year 250 volunteers worked in 30 different schools helping students in the regular classroom and in the after-school programs. One-on-one help is sometimes the only way that students who are also learning English as a second language can do their work. Sometimes the student has experienced so much failure in his school life that he is reluctant to participate in class activities. He has lost self esteem. Volunteer helpers give that student a no-risk opportunity to experience success - even one word at a time.
