Like children? Think you would enjoy teaching a child how to read? Read on...
Are you
looking for opportunities to connect your students with children and schools in
the community?
The Institute for Innovation in Health and Human Services at
JMU is home to the Reading Road Show-Gus Bus program and the Shenandoah Valley
Migrant Education program. They are both currently trying to recruit volunteers
for a tutoring program for elementary aged students. Volunteers would go to the
child’s home for 1 – 2 hours per week to work with the child. They would need
their own transportation to the child’s home. This is a commitment for the
entire school year, lasting until May 2014. Volunteers will offer 1-2 hours per
week and will have a flexible schedule.
The
Gus Bus serves low-income neighborhoods in Harrisonburg, Rockingham County, and
Page County through two mobile literacy vehicles. These vehicles provide story
time, activities, and book checkout for children. Want to learn more about our
volunteering program? Watch the video at http://www.iihhs.jmu.edu/thegusbus
The
primary goal of the Migrant Education Program (MEP) is to ensure that all migrant students reach challenging
academic standards and graduate with a high school diploma or complete a GED
that prepares them for further learning, productive employment, and to be
responsible community members. Want to learn more about the Shenandoah Valley
