    Description

    Brilliant Detroit is hosting summer programming for kids in grades K-3, designed to support literacy development, promote health and wellness, and provide engaging enrichment experiences that help young learners thrive.

    Our Littlefield hub is currently looking for a dedicated volunteer to support their weekly programming! We're seeking an enthusiastic, dependable volunteer who enjoys working with elementary-aged children and is excited to lead a small group of students through engaging reading, writing, and conversation activities.

    Your support will help prevent the "summer slide" and ensure students return to school in August feeling confident and prepared. We're looking for someone who can commit to at least one day per week during our summer programming, from July 6th through August 13th.

    Available days include:

    Monday through Thursday: 11:30-2 p.m. and/or 2-4 p.m.

    Examples of weekly programs:

    • Improv
    • Neighborhood Nature Explorer (w/ the Belle Isle Nature Center)
    • Art & Social
    • Book Club
    • Music & Movement
    • Crime Scene Detectives
    • Lego Legends
    • Superpowers Lab
