Our ultimate goal is to have all students from our community enroll in college. We have had 100% success on graduating our students from HS and 92% of our students were enrolled in College. Volunteers are a huge influence on this success rate. Volunteers should work well under limited supervision with both students (middle school, high school, and college aged) and staff.
Volunteers not only help our students with homework, but also with Canal Alliance sponsored projects. Additionally, specific responsibilities arepreparing snacks and refreshments, supervising groups during outdoor and indoor activities, helping with clean-up. Patience and flexibility are musts.
This opportunity is offered M-TH from 3:30-6:00 here at Canal Alliance and Pickleweed Community Center. We would need at least 2-4 volunteers per class. We have 1 Middle School class of 20-30 students and 3 classes for High School. We also have college students who might need one on one help arranged on a case by case basis.
All of these would be great opportunities for college students who are currently studying education, or currently retired professionals from the educational field. We do also invite high school students, preferably ages 16 and over, to work with our middle school program.
Volunteers should be available at least one full shift per week, beginning Wednesday August 27th and ending December 19th. Training will be provided. While being familiar with Spanish may be helpful, it is not required. Volunteers ages 18+ will be required to undergo a background check which includes fingerprinting. Volunteers that are willing to transport students for field trips are required to provide a copy of his or her DL and insurance. Driving is not a required responsibility.
