Impact NW: Volunteers needed for dynamic after-school teaching experience!
Posted by hannah.cherry
Bridger SUN School is seeking volunteers to teach fun, themed learning classes with links to reading, writing, math, science…etc.
Bridger is a K-8 school located in East Portland with a Spanish immersion program. It is a highly diverse, energetic, multi-lingual and multi-cultural environment. After school time runs from 3:15-5:15pm Monday-Thursday, from January 26th to March 12th (7 weeks). The first hour, from 3:30-4:15 is homework help time, and the second hour is an enrichment class. Each of our classes is offered twice a week, either M/W or T/TH. Ideally, teachers can come beginning at 3:15. If you are only able to volunteer for either the enrichment class or the homework time, that is welcome as well! Teachers are able to request the age range – generally 1st-3rd or 4th-6th graders.
Possible classes include:
- Sports
- Science
- Reading
- Dance
- Theater
- . . .whatever you want! If you have an idea for a class and would like support creating the curriculum, we can help.
START DATE: January 26th
END DATE: March 12th (7 weeks)
TIME: Either Mon/Wed or Tues/Thur (or both!) from 3:15 to 5:15 *if you are only available for the homework help time from 3:15-4:15, that would be excellent as well!*
