Community Service Limited Means Volunteer Opportunity!

                This community service project is presented in partnership with Big Brothers and Sisters of Summit and Medina Counties as part of the BBBSMC’s after-school “Sidekicks” program.  This opportunity is available for upper level law students who are interested in mentoring an elementary school student in our community.  It will take place every Thursday afternoon from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Mason Elementary School, which is located only a short distance from the law school.  Volunteers will assist elementary school students in completing homework and will participate in group games, activities and other social interactions.   Because each volunteer will be assigned to a particular student, you must be able to attend the program each Thursday afternoon during the school year while classes are being held (attendance is not necessary during reading and exam periods or holidays).    

                If you are interested in participating in this program, please contact Professor Shaver at eas68@uakron.edu.  For more information about Big Brothers/Big Sisters, visit http:\\bbbssmc.org.
