- Help make snacks/light meal for pro-
gram participants--volunteer one day,
one week, or once a week--you decide - Help in a classroom, and choose the
age you want to work with from babies
to middleschoolers - Become an art helper--visit RFL once a
month to do simple art/craft projects
with school age children--we'll come
up with the project--we just need your
extra set of hands - Help with administrative tasks--
mailings, copying, and other projects - Help with fundraising--this can be as
much or as little as you want--from
sitting at a table at Barnes & Noble for
an afternoon to making calls to
prospect-ive donors to helping with a
mailing.

| Here are 3 important ways you can help Family Literacy |
| Mentor |
| Volunteer |
Mentoring involves working one on one with a
child age 9-14, on a consistent enough schedule to
develop a relationship. Most of our children are
well behaved, well adjusted kids. What they do
need is someone to talk to them about things their
family may not know about--going to college,
careers, the world, etc.

Although most of Family Literacy's adult
students are taught in classes, occasionally
we needs help with special students. These
can be pre-literacy adults who need one on
one help to learn the alphabet. Or they can
be high level students who need tutoring on
math, science, or social studies while
working on a GED.
