Friends, are you bored being retired? So many volunteering opportunities are available. S.A.G.E. has a few. Do you have a passion for young people?

Beryl Katz and I are looking for S.A.G.E. Volunteers who have a passion for any of the following subjects. You do not need to have been a teacher! If these volunteer spots do not speak to you, do you know someone who may find this volunteer opportunity interesting?
Please send them our way! Check out the first 4 spots! These are requests for Mentors!

Subject:
Artist - (need a mentor who can guide student to guide student into an art career)
Author (need a mentor who can guide student to guide student into a writing career)
Librarian (need a mentor who can guide student to guide student into a career as a librarian)
Teacher (need a mentor who can guide student to guide student into a career as a teacher)

9th Grade Biology Full Year
Algebra 1 (3x Per Week, Or Tag-Team With On-Site Teacher)
Anatomy For Artists - One Semester
Intro To 3D Printing - One Semester
Intro To Sculpture - One Semester
Night Sky (Stargazing Class - I Have All The Powerpoints And Activities Materials Ready To Go) Full Year
Study Hall (Knowledge Of High School Research Protocols Helpful)

The volunteers will be working with the high schoolers at the Bucks Learning Cooperative (BLC) in Langhorne PA which is a nonprofit, non-traditional learning center that partners 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. There are 1 to 5 students in a class. These students really want to be there and they want to learn! And they are respectful and not trouble makers!
(https://buckslearningcooperative.org/)

🎨 The classes are held one day per week for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. The BLC staff will assist the volunteers with creating curriculum and course outlines. The staff will work to schedule the course around your schedule.

You don’t need to be a teacher — just someone who has a passion for the subject and who wants to support young learners. BLC guides the curriculum.

If you have interested people, have them reach out to me and I will arrange meetings with BLC for preliminary discussions.

So excited to hear from you! Kathy Walls Reeves, Beryl Katz, Bucks Learning Cooperative
