Description:
Thank you so much for your interest in being a Project Plus (P+) Volunteer!
P+ is a summer program that combines research with outreach.
The research in P+ is about the learning motivation of children living in poverty.
The outreach in P+ is about helping children practice math. We focus specifically on young children who face homelessness. Our goal is to help them practice math effectively.
Depending on your schedule and interests, there are four volunteer positions to choose from:
Facilitator: this is for those interested in the hands-on experience working with children
Research Assistant: this is for those interested in research (but will not be working with children).
