VOLUNTEER IN THE CLASSROOM WITH REDWOOD CITY 6TH-8TH GRADERS THIS SCHOOL YEAR!
You can make a difference in the lives of kids in the Redwood City School District when you volunteer for Los Ayudantes.
Los Ayudantes ("The Helpers" in Spanish) is a non-profit that helps Redwood City English learners improve literacy and critical thinking skills necessary to succeed in high school and beyond. Our dedicated literacy volunteers help in the same classroom one hour a week and work one-on-one or in small groups helping students as they read out loud: decoding, explaining vocabulary and delving deeper into reading subject matter. You will become an important, trusted mentor for the students when you make this commitment to tutor them throughout the remainder of the school year.
Training is provided and you can also shadow with one of our volunteers before you decide. We work primarily at Kennedy Middle School and McKinley Middle School (just 10-20 minute drive away).
For more information, visit our website, www.losayudantes.org or contact Program Director, Jenni Farrell at jenni.farrell@losayudantes.org.
