Volunteer Educators Needed

Enrollment at Positive Tomorrows increases every year at this time as seasons change and homeless families prepare for winter.  This year has been no different and our classes are full.  We’re looking for some retired teachers, education majors in college, or others who can be strong, committed tutors for our students.  If you volunteer, you can help needy children catch up academically and socially, so that they can be successful when they transition to public school.  Please call us at 405-556-5082 and ask for our Volunteer Coordinator.

   As Jeff Codner mentioned to Sandy Thomas, I am on the volunteer committee here at the local University of Phoenix campus. I will be joining Jeff today when he visits to tutor from 1:45-2:45, and hope to meet with Sandy to discuss an expansion of UOPX involvement with your organization.

   i am extremely interested in learning more about what you do, and how I might be able to volunteer. I am currently employed with Edmond Public Schools. I am an LPN, and currently work at our title one schools providing first aid to students. However; when first aid is not necessary, I am assisting in tutoring in math, reading, or any other services needed. I would greatly appreciate more information. Thank you. Kathy Walker

   I have read over your organization and it looks like an awesome thing you have going! I am a Social Worker and I currently work for Hospice.I could not help out during the day, because I work during the day. However, there may be times I could assist in the evenings or on the week ends. Do you have a need for volunteers during hours other than just the daytime?

   Thank you and again, I applaud what you are doing!

   Tonya, thank you for your inquiry. Currently, our hours pretty much coincide with the school day. Ultimately, we would like to expand some of our family services to the evenings, however we lack the funding and staffing resources to do so. Please stay in touch with us and maybe there will be something that you can help us with in the future.

   I’m currently an education major and I student teach next fall so I wouldn’t be available a whole lot until next Spring, but I was wondering if you did things in the summer that I could volunteer for?
