YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE WITH JUST ONE HOUR A WEEK
We ask that volunteers contribute at least one hour a week for a school year. You can choose between mentoring one student or being a learning support volunteer for a classroom. EdConnect will place you with a school or student near you. Upon signing up, you’ll receive training and support throughout your volunteering to ensure you are satisfied with your placement.
We look forward to working with you!
