Have a talent to share? Want to help out one of the Portland Public Schools, even if your child doesn't go there? Want to volunteer on an ongoing basis? Maybe you want to help out in a one-time shot?
Portland Public Schools and Hands On Portland have joined forces to create Project Community Care: "to engage community members, parents and students in meaningful volunteer opportunities in schools."
Community volunteers make a world of difference to the more than 46,000 students in Portland Public Schools. Their work is wide-ranging: from tutoring in the classroom to pulling weeds at one of the district’s 85-plus schools.
So far, the site is just in pilot mode, accessible only to Cleveland- and Franklin- area schools. Check it out HERE. And, be on the lookout for the district-wide expansion in mid-May.
