Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Fill in the volunteer sign-up form on the Volunteer page. A program manager then contacts you to pick a grade range and schedule, and you attend a short training..
Check with the group before you show up. You need to sign up first.
What to expect
Expect a short training with a program manager, who answers your questions before you teach. You then choose a grade range from K to 12 and a schedule together, often at a class near your home or work. Classes can be in person or virtual.
Tips for your first visit
- Do not come to 1501 Cherry Street expecting an office: the address is for mail, and the office does not take visitors.
- Call 267-519-5307 with questions before you fill in the form.
- Think about the grade range you would like before the program manager calls you.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The sign-up steps are spelled out in order, and a short training with a program manager comes before teaching. The page does not say whether teaching experience is needed..
