Volunteer Opportunities
Like kids? Want to make a difference?
Be a mentor!
Richmond Jewish Coalition for Literacy is looking for new mentors at Swansboro Elementary School. Spend an hour a week getting to know a child and helping him/her work on their reading and/or math skills. RJCL encourages everybody to participate but is in particular need of males. The boys at this school are sorely lacking in positive male role models and a weekly visit with a law student or professor is just what the doctor ordered. This is a wonderful opportunity to make a difference in a child’s life and it’s a fairly small time commitment.
If you are interested, please email Alison Linas.
