Description
Volunteers get to teach a class and do fun activities with kids. Programs/classes are small, so you get to see kids grow and develop as you help them with their learning strategies and life skills. I have been a volunteer myself, so I know what it is like to teach kids, and see how excited they get when you can inspire them to do anything! This is the experience you get when working with LSP.
