The Santa Rosa Parks Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization that aims to build partnerships between people and parks, bridging the gap between the needs of the parks and fulfilling the needs of citizens. The foundation is dedicated to making the parks accessible to all adults, kids and pets in Santa Rosa and Sonoma County at large.
We are looking for new members to bring new energy to our board of directors, help us complete the fund raising for the ADA Passenger Car for the Howarth Park Train and then decide what project to tackle next.

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.
