Volunteer members will again assist with these programs. We are committed to beginning our 23rd year of offering the Association-sponsored court tours in 2000. In Monroe County are encouraged to invite attorneys into their classrooms to address specific topics or talk about law as a career. We also have teachers who might appreciate your input on curriculum planning. The Monroe County Bar Association salutes all of the volunteers in its highly-acclaimed Lawyers for Learning program.
Mentors work with individual students or an entire class.
They provide reading and math assistance, play educational games, and, most importantly, serve as positive role models. Lawyers for Learning also hosts an annual dinner for School 29 families, funds field trips, sponsors reading contests, distributes free books and provides enrichment grants to worthy students. Schedules are flexible and the school is conveniently located about ten minutes from downtown. Volunteers are needed in August and September to stuff back packs at our annual stuffing party and to distribute them to eager students. This is a great opportunity to make a very significant difference in the life of a child with only a few hours effort.
