and become a Partner in Learning!

Looking for something worthwhile and rewarding to do in the new year? Consider contributing your time and talents as a Power of One Volunteer in a Shoreline or Lake Forest Park public school. For just one hour a week you can make a difference in a young person’s life!

Volunteers work under the guidance of a classroom teacher or school librarian to provide regular, consistent help during the school day. The opportunities include but are not limited to:

• Tutoring students one-on-one in reading, writing or math
• Reading with students in small groups
• Helping to improve math skills through games and practice
• Exploring science concepts
• Assisting with special art projects
• Providing support in libraries by shelving or repairing books
• Supporting Multi Language Learners as they learn English
• Tutoring students in a Chemistry, Algebra or Spanish class
• Fostering skills that help prepare students for college and careers

The Power of One Volunteer Program matches volunteers with opportunities in grades PreK - 12. Benefits include connecting with students in a positive way, being part of a group of dedicated volunteers, free educational trainings and workshops, and ongoing support from the Power of One Program Coordinator.

Power of One is a partnership of the Shoreline-LFP Senior Activity Center and the Shoreline Public Schools. This well-regarded program began in 1996 to connect senior members of the community with neighborhood schools. It continues today as a model volunteer program and welcomes both seniors and non-seniors.
