Children Across America: Empowering Communities
Children Across America, a humanitarian organization, provides literacy support to under-served children in the United States. Its vision is to empower families and children in under-served communities. Its unique programs are focused on improving and driving educational excellence. The organization partners with libraries and school systems to ensure children get the full benefit of its programs. To learn more, please visit www.childrenacrossamerica.org.
As we launch for our 5th year of this program, we have added basic coding, science and art projects as part of our STREAM initiative (Science. Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts and Math) Our summer club starts on Saturday Jan 19th and runs every Saturday morning thru May. We have an opportunity for several volunteers. The club is from 915 AM until 1130 AM.
Our objective is to promote Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts and Math as a lifelong activity, as a fun activity. We want children to love learn, develop a passion for it. Healthy snacks will be provided.
Key responsibilities would include leading reading circles, play math games, lead science projects, manage art projects and instruct in general STREAM initiatives and to supervise the children. The number of kids fluctuates in school year projects due to competition with sporting and other school events. One week we could have 25 kids, the next week 5.
Whether you can every Saturday or 1, we need you. This can fulfill your community service hours or for college credit. We are a Presidential Volunteer Service Award organization and everyone who puts in a minimum of 100 hours will be submitted for the award. This looks great on a college application. If you are interested in this opportunity and it is a cause you are passionate about, please contact us. Please visit our website @ www.childrenacrossamerica.org and like us on our Facebook page to follow our activities.
A child who reads becomes an adult who thinks. A healthy mind needs a healthy body.
