[Newman-l] SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES

Wed Mar 20 08:24:25 EDT 2013

Hey all,

Here is an email that contains a TON of service opportunities that you can do on your own or with some friends! Some Newman people do these on their own regularly if you would like a friend to do them with. As Catholics, we are called to service, so consider how you can give your time for others!

Saint Francis of Assisi said: “Preach the Gospel at all times; when necessary, use words.” Don’t speak the words of Jesus.  Live it in your everyday life.  Love thy neighbor, and recognize his or her struggle. Finally, do something.

Foreign Languages in the Elementary Schools (FLES) Program

FLES is a program that sends volunteer students to teach either Spanish or French in the local elementary schools, including West Elementary, East Elementary and Alexander. The volunteers are expected to teach once per week, with the average class time lasting about half an hour. Volunteers will teach preschool through 6th grade. The FLES program pairs volunteers' schedules with teachers' schedules to find a time that will work for everyone, and sometimes this results in a group of volunteers team teaching a class. Volunteers are expected to come up with their own topic and activities for each day they teach, but there is a large amount of resources available through the FLES organization which they can use.

To volunteer as a FLES teacher, you need to be at the 3000 level of the language you plan on teaching.

If you are interested and have questions, contact: Teri Ewing @ te242809 at ohio.edu
