Volunteer

 Volunteers are an integral part of Learning Together’s work. They provide positive role models for students and support for teachers and administrators. We offer volunteer opportunities year-round and work to ensure opportunities are beneficial to Learning Together and meaningful for volunteers.

Classroom Buddies

Classroom buddies interact directly with the children in their learning environment. In order to minimize disruptions to teachers and students, and to maximize the engagement of volunteers, the classroom buddies program is limited to specific days and times each month.

There are two options for engagement as a classroom buddy, in the classroom or on playground. Volunteer groups may choose to do one or both.

In-classroom volunteers are expected to prepare an age appropriate activity to enage the children. Popular activities include: story telling, art projects, science experiments, and culinary experiences (pre-packaged foods only). Volunteers are encouraged to think creatively when planning an in-classroom activity!

*All activities must be pre-approved by Learning Together staff at least one week in advance of the volunteer date.
