Classroom Volunteer - Citizenship Program (East Side Location)

Save to Favorites

Volunteers needed for a new Citizenship class offered in partnership with Des Moines Public Library's East Side location!


Volunteers will help in classes led by a trained staff teacher by working with students one on one and in small groups to be sure by the end of the 10 week session all students are as prepared as possible for their US naturalization interview.

Key responsibilities

• Support the lead teacher in administering their lessons in a variety of ways including but not limited to participating in demonstrations, leading activities in small groups, and working one-on-one with individual students
• Communicate respectfully with students when engaging in repeat activities and topics to give students an opportunity to master the content
• Adjust plans, techniques, and/or approaches to meet the learning styles of the students and follow the instruction of the lead teacher with the ultimate goal of helping students become independent learners

Time commitment

• Class will meet Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:00-7:30pm
• We ask that volunteers commit for at least one session (4-8 weeks)
