Bus and subway passes

Cell phone with prepaid minutes

Volunteers must be able to sit on the floor or low child-size chair. Distance from the condo to the preschool combines public transportation with several blocks of walking. As a volunteer, you will have conversations with the children to help them to understand new English words and encourage them to use language to express themselves. Your day will include reading to the children, singing songs, doing fitness activities and talking with them during play to help them put their ideas into English words.
