Hours for the library positions are flexible. No experience is necessary but a willingness to help students is a must. Students should be caring, patient, and willing to engage a child in healthy activities within the community. Visits are usually weekly, for approximately 2 hours at a time. Students should have their own transportation.
Experience working with children is highly desirable.
Pierce Pals is a program focused on building relationships between college students and elementary school students. Franklin Pierce College volunteers visit with their assigned pal once a week for 45 minutes at a time. Please note that this is a YEAR LONG commitment. During these time periods, volunteers tutor elementary school students on basic reading and language arts skills. Our volunteer positions range from coaching, volunteering time, leading an event, and just having fun.
