General Info

What do volunteers do?
Volunteers work approximately three to four hours a day assisting the local staff in providing extra academic support to approximately 40 local children ages 6 to 15. Volunteers help plan classes and, depending on the number of children in a class, teach alone or in groups. Topics include English, geography, history, math and reading, and volunteers also assist with regular school homework. Additionally, volunteers lead activities and discussions stressing personal development themes like cultural sensitivity and self-esteem building.
