Labor and construction: For volunteers who like to roll up their sleeves to make a difference, several pressing labor projects have been identified for immediate attention. Assignments will be made in the areas of painting, carpentry, window and light installation, gardening and general building maintenance.

Help at-risk children grow and develop.  You can often interact with toddlers and pre-schoolers who need you to help them with simple activities:

• arts and craft projects
• outdoor recreation
• reading and singing
• preparing for bedtime
  

English teaching: You may also be asked to teach English language skills to students in the fifth through 12th grades. Most students have had little English language exposure, but are eager to try in small groups.

Any native English speaker can be of service on this project. You are not required to have professional classroom experience.
