Oakland School Volunteers (Year round, but summer is challenging) As an ongoing volunteer with the Oakland Public Education Fund, you will spend one hour a week (or more!) at an Oakland public school. We will pair you with one classroom so you can create lasting connections with teacher and students. Bilingual volunteers who wish to work at Oakland International High School should please indicate as such in their application. There are three ways to become involved as a community volunteer: 1) ACADEMIC TUTORS: Tutor students one-on-one or in small groups in literacy or math. Haven't tutored in the past? Not to worry- our orientation and content training session(s) will give you the tools to help kids boost their reading or math skills.2) CLASSROOM ASSISTANTS: Support an Oakland classroom by being a teacher's aide, prepping materials, sorting books, reading aloud with kids, and more. Activities vary based on the classroom where you volunteer.3) CAREER COACHES: Work with high school students to help prepare them to succeed in this day and age! In alignment with your expertise, you will help students to develop a strong set of problem-solving skills, the ability to adapt, organizational skills, and strong social-emotional capability.
