VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! People Animals Love (PAL) Club @ Stanton Elementary

This just arrived in my inbox. Sounds like a great program! This seems like a great opportunity for one of the new River East groups. Please volunteer! For more information visit the People Animals Love website or contact John@peopleanimalslove.org.

Love kids? Want to help a struggling school meet No Child Left Behind's standards? Want to give back to the community and help local parents and kids move to a better future?

People Animals Love (PAL) is an animal-related nonprofit launching an ambitious and exciting new after-school club -- PAL Club -- at Stanton Elementary this year. Part of the program will be enrichment with an animal-centric curriculum, pets in the classroom, field trips to the zoo, etc. and the other part will be reading and math tutoring. We need volunteers -- to tutor in reading or math, or to chaperone field trips and help plan family fun nights. The goals of the program are to increase animal-friendly behavior, build excitement around science, and improve reading and math scores. The tutors that came last year were beloved by the students. You will love volunteering at PAL Club.

If you're interested or have questions, please contact John at the PAL Office at 202-966-2171 or john@peopleanimalslove.org
