School and Library Volunteer Program
Classroom Volunteer Program
Many Adopt-a-Class TN members are classroom volunteers who work directly with children, at all of our adopted schools, as tutors, either individually or in small groups. Each volunteer is matched with a teacher and a classroom. This allows the volunteers to get to know the children and feel pride in their progress.
Schedules are flexible and organized directly with the teacher. Most volunteers work 3 to 5 hours per week, either on one day or split into multiple days. Some volunteers choose to spend more hours at school. Volunteers may assist in any grade or class. Volunteers also assist in "Specials", such as Art, Special Ed, and PE. Teaching experience is not required.
Classroom volunteers served for over 3,000 hours at all of our adopted during the 2021-2022 school year.
Vonore Public Library Volunteer Program
Administration of the Vonore Public Library programs is overseen by the librarian and community volunteers. Adopt-a-Class commends these programs and encourages members to participate.
Summer Reading Program
The purpose of the program is to keep children reading and learning throughout the summer. The goal is to instill a lifetime habit of reading.
Year Round Story Time
Adopt-a-Class volunteers read books and share activities with preschoolers and a parent or caregiver. Story Time begins at 10:30 am on most Wednesdays, and lasts about an hour. Please consult the library's website and Facebook page for more information.
