Volunteer Opportunities
Kendall Square Learning Project needs volunteers for the following activities:
Teaching
It's easier than you think. You don't need to speak a foreign language or be an expert grammarian. You do need to be comfortable with grammar and to have a desire to help people. Teaching materials and training are provided, and experienced teachers will help you get started.
Administrative
KSLP can always use administrative support. Besides teachers, our volunteers include a student coordinator, teacher coordinator, treasurer, Volpe Center liaison, and librarian.
Financial
KSLP is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Your tax-deductible contribution would go toward buying materials for the students and classes. Minimal funds are used for necessary operating expenses, such as mailings and program support. Work at KSLP is strictly voluntary; no one receives payment for time or effort.
Other
KSLP needs other forms of support, such as substitute teachers, one-time classes on special topics, donations of materials, help with specific events, or any help you can offer.
Here is a list of our current needs:
- English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers.
- Substitute teachers on an as-needed basis.
- Guest speakers on any topic you choose like how to surf the Internet.
- Website support.
- Leads for organizing a field trip to a museum, business, public libraray, or historic site.
- Help for creating an annual newsletter highlighting recent activities, teachers/volunteers, and general project information.
- Administrative support like organizing our business files.
- Help for creating a Kendall Square Learning Project operations handbook.
- Graphics support for developing promotional materials like our project brochure and events flyers.
