VOLUNTEER ORIENTATION (1.5 hours)

IMPORTANT: The Volunteer Orientation is mandatory for all volunteers. 

Right Start is a non-stock, non-profit, non-government organization that began as a response to the unmet needs of children living in poverty. As a community-based creative caring space, Right Start provides afterschool activities and classes where children are able to experience opportunities for play, creativity, and holistic development in a warm and responsive environment. We firmly believe that a well-designed afterschool program rich in supportive relationships will help empower the children to become innovative, resilient, compassionate, and productive members of society.

Do you want to share your time to facilitate/teach the following activities?

• Music (voice, instruments)
• Art (painting, drawing, etc.)
• Dance
• Reading, especially for children who need reading support
• Story-telling
• Tutorials
• Science
• Sports (basketball, table tennis, chess)
• Play

Right Start needs volunteers who are: 

• Passionate about children and nurturing their development and well-being
• Open to learning and being trained as needed
• Committed
• Able to abide by Right Start’s Child Protection policies (to be discussed during the orientation)

What you can expect as a volunteer:

• An environment where children’s welfare is everyone’s utmost priority.

The impact you can make as a volunteer: In addition to the hard skills you will teach, you will become another person in the children’s lives who believes in their potential and cares by helping them develop key capacities such as regulating behavior, discerning, planning, making the right choices, collaborating, persevering, thinking critically, having a growth mindset, etc.
