My first two weeks at FLOC have been fast and exhilarating. As the new College Access Coordinator, I have the privilege of overseeing weekly workshops for middle and high school students in the Scholars Program. With less than a week under my belt, it was time for my first Returning Family Orientation.
I am super excited to write my first blog as the new Bilingual Program Coordinator at FLOC. Although I have only been here for a month, I have participated in several fun activities and have observed some amazing tutor-student pairs.
Here are 5 quick tips on how you can help us get the word out about FLOC:
Recruit a friend to volunteer-People are much more likely to volunteer if they are recruited in a one-on-one conversation with a friend. Think of a few friends who you think might enjoy working at FLOC and share your experience with the organization. If everyone who currently tutors brought in just one friend we could serve more than 600 students!
