John Wayland Welcomes Our Volunteers
Anyone can be a
volunteer...parents, grandparents, business
partners, high school and college students, community members ... and
of course YOU!
Active involvement by volunteers
greatly helps individual
students, as well as our whole school. Our students shine, with the
additional support volunteers provide.
There are many ways can serve as
a volunteer:
Mentor Volunteer
-
A mentor is a person who can
be a supportive friend, tutor and
role model for a student who has been selected by his or her
classroom teacher.
-
The mentor spends one hours
during the school day weekly
throughout the year with this student, not only being that special
someone to listen to and talk with.
-
The Big Brothers/Big Sisters
Liaison will hold a training session
prior to the mentor and student meeting.
Volunteer Tutors
-
A volunteer tutor would spend
a minimum of one hour two or three
times monthly in as assigned classroom. The tutor works with
individual students or small groups of students in activities of the
teacher's choosing. A tutor may help with reading, math, writing,
spelling, computer or reviewing for a test to assist teachers.
Volunteers can help our ESL
(English Second Language) students to
speak, read, and understand English
