Volunteer Opportunity

We would like to expand the program to reach more of the fourth grade classrooms but we need additional volunteers to be able to expand.

Dates:  June 2014 - June 2015

Responsibilities:

1. Help support the Bridges programs at Francis Wyman and throughout the community – being a bridge between the program, school and the wider community

2. Attend the kick-off celebration and a ½ day training in September and be in touch with the Volunteer Coordinator(s) throughout the year via email and/or phone
3. Work as a team to recruit seniors for all schools.  This includes:
• Posting flyers around town
• Getting blurbs into their school newsletters and religious organization bulletins
• Talking to leaders in organizations they belong to – and helping to coordinate short presentations on Bridges 

4. Attend the reunion (one Monday morning, 10-12PM) for your school if your schedule permits
