Breakfast Buddy

Eat breakfast with a student or small group of students at the school cafeteria (could be a great activity onyour way to work). Be a mentor by assisting your student(s) with a class assignment, discussing a book, or just chatting. This is a time to enjoy eating and fun conversation!

Lunch Buddy
Eat lunch in the school cafeteria with an individual student or group of students druing their lunch period. During your time together, you may also serve as a mentor by playing a board game, reading a story, playing on the playground or working on a special project. This is a time to build self-confidence and let the student know he/she is important.

Reading Pal
Help students K-3 develop better reading skills. A one-hour supplemental training session is available for volunteers who have not previously read with a child or who need some helpful suggestions on how to motivate a child to read.

Academic Tutor
Choose your favorite subject - math, reading, writing, science, social studies, computers, music or a foreign language - and work with a student who needs extra attention in that area. You may choose to mentor your student before, during, or after school to help give him/her advice and direction in tasks such as completing everyday assignments or developing a challenging project.

Mentor
Have fun getting to know a student through a variety of activities including sharing a hobby, working on an assignment, playing a game or sport, or just "hanging out." Time with a positive adult role model is something kids ask for over and again. A mentor is a friend and a good listener and helps build the self-confidence students need to succeed in school.

Band Buddy
Have fun getting to know a student by teaching them how to play their instrument or read the music sheets.

Classroom Friend
Work with all students on any subject being taught in the classroom - sewing, cooking and many other tasks.
