This is us (www.efba.us). We get up in the morning to share our love of all things French with the children of immigrants and other interested famillies schooled in public schools in the Bay Area.
In this volunteer role, you will manage a collection of French children's books to advise our French teachers on how to run book clubs ('rallie lecture'), and other activities using our children's book collection.The position can grow and morphe into more than the actual support of our teachers, based on your desire to become a storyteller or your own great ideas. Our goal is for the children to develop a habit, a pleasure and a desire to read in a minority language (French).
Here are a few other caracteristics expected for this important role:
* You are a French teacher or you are a French librarian ("documentaliste")
* Your have sufficient fluency in French to be able to read the children's books :)
* You have experience with 5 to 16 years old children.

Mission Statement
Education Française Bay Area was created in 2009 by Gabrielle DURANA to give access to all children to a bilingual education, in our case French. We are a WASC accredited part-time school. Our non profit organization offers high quality yet affordable French after schools, summer camps and cultural programs to both francophone and French as a Second Language children, aged 5-18. The classes take place in local schools of the Bay Area. Our mission statement is simple: to provide a bilingual, multicultural francophone education, opening doors and minds to the world.
Description
"Ideas are a dime a dozen. People who implement them are priceless." Mary Kay Ash
We want to make the world a better place. We believe every child, every person has a potential and it is our individual and collective duty to empower that human through care, guidance and education to become truly part of society.
Care is not enough, we need action and we need justice. We are the change we seek. Howard Thurman once wrote: "Don't just ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you alive, and do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive".
Are you alive? Then let's put our energy into something bigger than ourselves and hold each other accountable to protect the children, protect the planet, protect the world's biological and cultural diversity. Yes, we can change the world together from here. Change will not come if we wait for some other person, for some other time. We, the people are the change we seek.
