About the Role

This is a volunteer opportunity that requires a commitment of at least 2 hours per month for 5 months (September to December).

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work collaboratively with peers and manage up to improve the work of everyone around you.
  • The ability to care for yourself, collaborate with others, use tools to regulate your emotions under stress, and approach difficult situations with empathy and compassion.
  • An understanding of how specific behaviors, laws, and institutions limit the rights and freedoms of people and a willingness to work with our community to take collective action to make our world fairer for everyone.
What We Offer

  • Free fingerprinting and background check.
  • Training on giving feedback to children.
  • Pre-created projects, feedback rubrics, and coaching session guides.
