In it’s September 20th education feature, “Not a Teacher? Not a Problem….Here’s how to lend a hand” Time magazine recommends Communities In Schools as one of the best organizations to volunteer your time. According to the magazine, “You have a demanding job, which means you also have the expertise that schools can use to get students interested in subjects and career opportunities. Use your passion to spark theirs.”
We couldn’t agree more.
In Washington State we offer a wide range of volunteer opportunities in 166 schools serving 12 communities across the state. Through our school-based mentoring programs you can become like second-family to kids who need someone to hear them and believe in them. Become a tutor and help a struggling student keep up with their classmates. Or help build community by serving as a board member on one of our 12 locally-driven CIS organizations.
Regardless of how you choose to get involved we urge that you do. Not only do thousands of kids across Washington need your help, we guarantee your volunteer experience will change your life. Help a child grow into a productive citizen and help yourself become a happier and fulfilled person.
