Tutors also help with lesson planning and child care. Left-over food from Penn State dining halls is delivered to several local shelters on a weekly basis by student volunteers in the Food Donation project. Volunteer drivers who have access to a car are needed in addition to non-driver volunteers. Cultural knowledge as well as an appreciation for reading are shared with pre-schoolers through the International Journeys Storyhour which highlights a particular country each month with stories, crafts, and traditional presentations. Volunteers produce a one hour story hour at the local Schlow Library for local children which focuses on a different nation each time.
Volunteers meet the week before to plan the activities.
S.A.I.L. also participates in a number of other service events in collaborative efforts with the United Way, the Red Cross, the Volunteer Center of Centre County, and other community organizations. Volunteers are needed at various times throughout the year for these single event volunteer projects. Volunteers are needed to help set-up several tents for the Family Wildlife Festival at Shaver's Creek Environmental Center, on Friday September 11, 1998. A 10K race is being held at Stone Valley Recreation Center on Sunday September 13, 1998. Volunteers are needed to help at registration and other duties during the race.
