Reading tutors
As a reading tutor, you will work individually with students on reading basics at Jefferson or Riverside elementary schools. You will play a critical role in improving students’ sight word vocabulary, increasing students reading fluency by providing guidance and support, and reinforcing foundational reading skills. Call 328-4356 for more information or to volunteer with Rochester Public Schools.
Friendly visitor
Families or individuals generally spend an hour once per week visiting with a senior neighbor. These chats can be the highlight of a senior's week. Because of the flexibility of this program, it is a great opportunity for working people and for you or your family to help others. Male volunteers are especially needed. Call 285-5272 for more information or to volunteer with Elder Network.
World Festival volunteers
Celebrate your ethnicity by participating in the Annual Rochester World Festival to be held at John Marshall High School on April 13 and 14. We are looking for volunteers to represent their ethnic heritage by performing and/or engaging in children's activities, cultural displays, and food preparation for the World Festival on April 12 (performances) and April 13 (children's activities, displays, food etc.). Call 280-8319 for more information or to volunteer with Rochester International Association.
