Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Sign up for a posted reading coach shift on the city's volunteer portal, or email commschools@phila.gov to ask about the next opening..
You need to sign up first.
What to expect
Volunteers work inside the school, and the school's Community School Coordinator arranges the programs. Reading coaching is a weekly role, according to the city listing. The school page does not give shift times, how long a shift runs, or any clearance steps, so ask before you sign up.
Tips for your first visit
- Ask the coordinator which entrance to use and where to check in.
- Ask which clearances you need before you sign up for a shift.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The city lists this volunteer role publicly with a sign-up step. The school page does not say which clearances apply, so paperwork may come first..
