United Way’s Adopt-A-Classroom brings a ray of positive light to kids who need it. The program connects community volunteers with elementary school classrooms in high-poverty schools. Currently volunteers can mentor students at Myhre Elementary in Bismarck. We ask for a minimum of a one-hour commitment twice a month. Interested? Sign up HERE.
The students’ faces light up when volunteers from Women United arrive. These classroom visits are a time when the kids get the attention they crave, but don’t often get at home. By simply reading a book together, doing crafts, or eating with the children, the volunteers help the students grow academically and as citizens.
Indeed, a little effort from a few people can make a big impact.
Time Commitment – Minimum of 1 hour, twice a month
Tuesday mornings 9:00-9:40 (2nd grade) or 10:30-11:10 (1st grade)
