We are looking for Volunteers that can help us work with the children in our program on reading, writing and math. We are part of "Math Hoops", an NBA Math program under the Milwaukee Bucks division. There is volunteer online training for Math Hoops. VOLUNTEERS may also need to help work with children on basic math skills, tutor them 1 v 1 or possibly check in with their teachers regarding academic status.
Most of the kids in our program, but not all, live on or below the poverty line. We use basketball to keep them on track academically, involve them in Community events that build character, and the children have fun through basketball training and a competitive level of basketball game play. Our program starts where other community programs end, providing doors of opportunity for the future of these children.
You do not have to have been a teacher to volunteer, patience and caring are enough. However, we would welcome any retired teacher or anyone with a teaching background that could help us.
The home life of some of these children is very difficult. Your help and caring would be appreciated.
