L.I.N.K.S.
offers an after school program for students that attend Robinson, Mason and
Leggett elementary schools. The targeted population of students could have mild
behavioral problems and may not be academically sound. These student tend to be
transient students and may have multiple barriers in their life. For the academy to be effective we are in need of at least 26 volunteers on a
regular basis and currently we are in need of at least 15 more volunteers. The
academy operates Monday through Thursday 2:00 - 5:30 pm throughout the school
year and is off when the Akron Public School are off. You could choice to
volunteer four days or one. Also, you could volunteer one hour or three. The
main focus is the hour of tutoring which is 3:30 pm until 4:30 pm.
Available
areas to serve are; daily preparing hot meals for students, daily tutoring,
Monday's - Leadership Class, Tuesday - Art Class, Wednesday - Dance Class and
Thursday - Military Drill Class. They are also seeking a volunteer Assistant Program Director, if there is anyone
interested in getting their feet wet in planning and programming. There is a wonderful group of volunteers - retire teachers, student counselor,
engineers, veterans and parents.
