Need Senior 55+ to Teach German or Spanish to Teens

We have a new volunteer partnership with Bucks Learning Cooperative (BLC), a nonprofit, non-traditional learning center that collaborates with high schoolers to create personalized educational paths. Students at BLC are self-directed, engaged, and eager to learn from real-world mentors. Our partnership with BLC offers a unique chance to work with motivated teens in a non-traditional, student-centered environment. (https://buckslearningcooperative.org/)

We have two opportunities for the spring semester - We are looking for a volunteer to teach German and a volunteer to teach Spanish. BLC will assist with identifying appropriate materials. Typically, the volunteer teacher spends one day (1 to 2 hours) per week leading and guiding high schoolers in the specific language.

We are looking for people who have the expertise to teach basic German or Spanish classes at the Bucks Learning Cooperative, a non-traditional high school, as a volunteer. This opportunity does not require a teaching certification. It only requires someone who has a passion for languages and a willingness to share that passion and experience with high school-aged learners.

Class schedule is TBD and is located at 315 W. Maple Avenue, Langhorne, PA. BLC welcomes volunteers who would like to offer a workshop, teach a short course, or lead a semester-long class. BLC is happy to work with your schedule. By the way, BLC is considered a homeschooling entity and follows the guidelines and direction of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Homeschooling laws.

You don’t need to be a teacher - just someone who enjoys speaking German or Spanish and who has a passion for wanting to support our high school-aged students. What do you think? We would love to chat with you about this volunteer opportunity. We'd be very excited to have you as a SAGE volunteer in this inspiring class!
