Become a school volunteer! Invest one hour a week and make a true difference in the life of a young person.

Here are some of the opportunities we have currently:

• Work with English Language Learners in Ms. Hale's 3rd grade class at an elementary school in Hayes Valley. Practice reading skills one-on-one with students, small groups playing phonics games and high frequency word practices.
  
  
• Tutor Algebra at a high school in the Mission District. Work one-on-one with students who are highly motivated, but need assistance and encouragement in algebra.
  
  
• One-on-one tutoring in Mr. Frost's 2nd grade math class at an elementary school in the Bayview district. The volunteer would help students learn how to do hands on math activities.
  
  
• Kindergarten art at an elementary school in Visitacion Valley. The teacher said, "Many and most kindergarten children need one-on-one checking in and help during curriculum-related art activities. If I had someone to talk to the students and help them over the humps and catches of their projects, they would have and feel greater success."

5 Overall Experience   
It was a great opportunity for me to interact with other people and to learn more about myself.

I have learned that life is full of wonderful things. You can't just wait for them to come but you have to look for them. My life is no longer self-centered; I contributed to the community. posted by dragonland23 on August 10, 2006
