Help Edu Fun with 15 volunteers for help children with their reading
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
Our focus is on teaching reading. Training is not required, but we do offer onsite training if volunteers want to learn more about teaching reading using the Phono-Graphix Reading method. We teach reading every day working with local youth, however we have additional volunteers who come in on Tuesday mornings (ideally) and teach reading as well as mentor the youth and assist with other projects such as our Food Pantry (for mostly child headed families). Baby Club (for pregnant teens), Uniform Project (to mend / replace school uniforms that are broken). We are open to suggestions and can usually accommodate volunteers who may want to come on other days or go to a site other than Diepsloot.

Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
