I would like to be a volunteer. How can I help?
There are several ways that volunteers are used at Castlio. Following are a few of the ways you can help:
Instructional volunteers: Instructional volunteers provide direct services to five or fewer students on a regular basis
Tutor- A tutor may work one-on-one with a student or with small groups of studetns, who need to reinforce basic skills in an academic subject. Placements are made with students from kindergarten through fifth grade.
Mentor- Mentors typically work with a struggling student. Their major task is to motivate the student to stay focused on school. Through tutoring, setting short-term goals and serving as a role model, volunteers can provide encouragement and friendship to a student in need to build self-esteem.
Support Service Volunteers- Support Service volunteers provide assistance to school personnel frequently or on a regular basis.
Classroom assistant- Volunteers work closely with classroom teachers and staff, assisting in various projects, keeping records, preparing instructional materials and interacting with students. Duties may include telling stories, reading with children and preparing bulletin boards.
Library Media Center Assistants- Volunteers in the library media center help fill teachers and students requestst for services. They may work at the circulation desk catalogue and shelve books, use a computer, mend books and operate audiovisual equipment.
Chaperone- Volunteer chaperones have the opportunity to enjoy museums, exhibits, musicals, and plays as they accompany students and teachers on field trips. Trips may involve free transportation on a bus and occaisonally free admission tickets.
