During my volunteer experience at Pinewoods Library, I served as a tutor assisting elementary and middle school-age children with homework, reading skills, and test preparation. After completing their tasks, the students and I played computer games and board games. I assisted in many special activicties like soccer games, field days, plays, and crafts. Although these children are incredibly intelligent, they face extra challenges in school due to language barriers. They greatly benefit from any help and support available. Furthermore, the children are appreciative and always excited to see the volunteers.
I encourage everyone to volunteer at Pinewoods Library. It
has been a truly rewarding time helping these wonderful children who really
need the assistance and attention. There are many ways to get involved from
adult English learning classes to childcare to tutoring. Do not feel
discouraged if you lack Spanish language proficiency. Tutoring and childcare do
not require that you speak Spanish. However, involvement at Pinewoods provides
an excellent opportunity to practice and improve your Spanish conversation
skills. Any participation at Pinewoods is extremely fulfilling, because
volunteers are making a difference in the lives of these underprivileged
parents, workers, children, and families.
