Volunteers facilitate learning and growth opportunities for students of education partners (Schools, YMCA's, Libraries) throughout the East Bay of RI. Volunteers are typically in the classroom working with one child, or a small group (3-4 students), assisting students accomplish learning goals under supervision of a teacher. Volunteers serve a minimum of 1 hour a week at a school for at least a six week term.
All volunteers will undergo training hosted by our office to prepare you with techniques to help students build literacy skills! A BCI and check on the National Sex Offender Website are required.
