Volunteer Opportunity
We have a volunteer opportunity for Bigs who are interested in speaking to a group of students attending Pathways, which is the alternative school for K-5 located at one of our partnering schools, Florence Howard Elementary School. They are seeking volunteers to come and speak one time to a small group of students with the goal to connect social-emotionally with the students while introducing them to your profession or even a hobby. The students at this school are placed at Pathways for an average of 45 days. We're looking for volunteers to take a group approach with the students. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Kelly at kelly@bbbssa.org and she will get you connected to the school point of contact who will provide more details about the opportunity.
