Volunteers Needed for Field Trips
Join us as a volunteer chaperone for United Way of the Capital Region’s Bridges Society’s annual Literacy for Life field trip at Barnes & Noble.
After being paired with a third grade student from Downey Elementary School, you will go on a scavenger hunt in the store and read books with your new friend. Thanks to event sponsor Enterprise Rent-a-Car, students will be able to select a new book to take home. We need at least 20 volunteers for each day, so this is a great opportunity to invite a friend or co-worker to as a prospect.
The events will take place on January 31, February 1 and February 2 from 9:15-11:30 a.m. at Barnes & Noble in Camp Hill. Unfortunately, Barnes & Noble is no longer able to let us into the store prior to when it opens at 9 a.m., so please plan on arriving at 9:15 a.m. A brief orientation will take place before the students arrive.
In the case of inclement weather, we will notify you as early as possibility of any cancellation. In general, if Harrisburg School District is closed or has a delay, the event will be rescheduled.
Clearances are preferred for volunteers at this event, but not required. If you have clearances and have not provided a copy to United Way, please send them as soon as possible to Michelle Loomis at mloomis@uwcr.org. If you are interest in obtaining clearances, contact Heidi Neuhaus at hneuhaus@uwcr.org for more information.
