Teaching and Loving Children (TLC)
What is Teaching and Loving Children?
TLC volunteers spend time as aides, helping local preschoolers and teachers in the classroom. If you're looking for a chance to serve in a fun way with flexibility, this is a great option for you!
We are currently volunteering with Sunrise Preschool, one of the easier off-campus volunteer locations to get to. It's close enough to walk or bike to if you don't have a car. Volunteers are needed during school hours (Monday through Thursday, 9:00 am to 3:00 pm) and are free to choose the times that best fit their schedule.
How do I get involved?

I loved volunteering at the pre-school with the learning activities. The first day I went, we helped the kids start recognizing and replicating picture patterns. I don’t know that they cared much about the patterns but it was fun to see how excited they were about the different kinds of cars. Also listening to 4 year olds say "helicopter" is adorable.
I joined Y-Serve just a couple weeks ago and have absolutely loved meeting and connecting this so many amazing individuals. At our program, I had the chance to interpret for a parent teacher conference. Helping parents, who struggle to speak English, to connect to the teachers of their children was truly a special thing for me to be a part of!
