    Description

    After School Support for K - 5th grade students

    Bilingual Learning Center (BLC) is a Spanish and English program that offers fun programming outside of school. We are seeking volunteers for our after school program where you'd support games, arts, storytelling and other various engaging activities.

    This is a great opportunity to practice your Spanish and gain experience with youth! Spanish is preferred but not required.

    Our schedule is flexible! Let us know your availability.

    We have two different after school sites Monday - Friday.

    • Windom Community School from 3:00 - 6:00pm
    • Nokomis Heigths 5300 10th ave S Minneapolis 5541 from 2:00 - 6:00pm

    Before school volunteers are needed from 7:30 - 9:30am as well!

    How you will support:

    • Engage with students, encourage Spanish communication and listening, support groups through projects, lead storytelling, reading, games and activities, ensure everyone understands instructions by translating or re-explaining.
    • Support staff with ensuring a safe and welcoming space, walking students from school to site, prepping snacks, cutting and preparing planned art activities, grabbing and putting away materials.
    • Let us know how you'd like to support and grow!

    Expectations of All BLC Volunteers:

    • Experience in working with youth
    • At least a conversational level of Spanish is a plus
    • Regular, consistent and punctual attendance
    • Takes initiative, and can make quick decisions.
    • Empower students by modeling leadership, respect, open mindedness and a positive attitude.
