Review for Empowering Children Bay Area, San Francisco, CA, USA
I was fortunate to have had an Experience Corps Bay Area member volunteer in my class this past year. My young scholars loved seeing him everyday he came. It even got to the point students were begging to have a turn with "Mr. S". The warmth and caring spirit he brought and shared with my students was awesome. While the goal was for "Mr. S" to work with struggling readers, we both agreed that there were other areas my students needed support in, such as: name writing, alphabet recognition/ sounds, alphabet and number formation, as well as a caring person just to sit down and read and talk to. And probably the most kindest thing "Mr. S" did, was to do extra visits during the week, so he could help more of my students. He even donated funds to help students in need. I am so thankful for an organization such as EXPERIENCE CORPS BAY AREA , who recognize that teachers and students in the Bay Area need good, quality support and blessing us with volunteers such as "Mr. S".
