Senior Volunteer Program Looking for New Members
Tuesday, February 16, 2010
The Power of One Senior Volunteer program is recruiting people 55 or older to volunteer at Shoreline Public Schools. Volunteers serve in a variety of roles—from traditional math and reading tutoring to helping with band and orchestra classes. Share your passion for books by helping in an English class. Your talents as an artist can inspire young artists. Put your organizational skills to use in a classroom or library. Opportunities are available in a variety of age ranges, from preschool to high school. Anyone who can give an hour of time on a regular basis is welcome.
By joining Power of One, seniors provide consistent volunteer help to students, teachers and staff in Shoreline Public Schools. They become part of the school community, showing students that education matters. Power of One Senior Volunteers must undergo a Washington State Patrol background check and an application process.
Some of the benefits of being a Power of One Volunteer: make a positive impact on students and the education system, being involved with young people helps volunteers stay active and volunteers are given school district ID badges.
To volunteer or for more information about the program, contact volunteer coordinator, Karen Kessinger, by phone, 206-365-1169, or email.
Sponsored by the Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Senior Center, Power of One matches volunteers 55 years and older with schools in the Shoreline school district.
About Power of One Senior Volunteer Program
The program started in 1996 and is a partnership of the Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Senior Center and the Shoreline School District and supported by the Shoreline Public Schools Foundation. During the 2008-09 school year, a core of about 58 Power of One Volunteers put in nearly 4,000 hours of time at Shoreline schools and programs.
The purpose of the Power of One Volunteer Program is to assist the Shoreline Schools to achieve excellent education for all students. We believe as caring adults we can assist all students to become successful learners.
