Support the Boys & Girls Clubhouses of Metro Los Angeles in our 10-week long targeted program, Brain Training, to help elementary school club members (ages 6-8) develop literacy skills. You will instruct a group of kids to stand on dance mats and move their feet to the letters and words projected from a video on the wall. Then, you'll help club members take an online spelling test based on the words they learned on the dance mats. If you're comfortable working in a classroom-like environment, it'll be easy!
