Time Required: 45 minutes to 1 ½ hours a week depending on site. The program runs throughout the regular school year.

 

Meeting Times and Places:

 

·         School Based Mentoring: Mentors meet with the child at a local Bridgeport school once a week, generally during a child’s lunch hour for about 45 minutes.

·         Community Based Mentoring: The traditional Big Brothers Big Sisters relationship model. It’s all about one-on-one time spent with the volunteer and the young person doing things they enjoy – the schedule can be flexible to meet the needs of mentors and young people in different kinds of situations.

 

Location: All school based mentoring is done at a supervised site. Mentors and mentees are not permitted to leave the site and staff is always available as a resource for mentors.

Hartford Artisans Weaving Center / Volunteer Opportunity

The Hartford Artisans Weaving Center is a non-profit group staffed by volunteers.  Our mission is to teach the craft of handweaving to people with low or no vision and those 55 and older. The artisans learn to weave beautiful scarves, throws, bags, wall hangings, and more.   They get a sense of accomplishment from mastering the complex craft of weaving.  They form friendships and conquer isolation in a caring, creative community, and they get a financial reward as well. The wonderful items they create are sold through our Open House sales, craft fairs, and our own on site store.

Many of our artisans do not drive. Some rely on Dial-A-Ride, which has geographic limitations and is not very punctual.  We have a great need for volunteers who can pick up one or two artisans and bring them to our Center and back on a regular basis.

Our studios are at 40 Woodland Street, Hartford. The artisans live in Hartford, West Hartford, East Hartford, Wethersfield, and Farmington. Our hours of operation are 10 -4, Monday through Thursday, and most of our artisans attend at least two days per week.  If anyone is interested in helping out, we will work with them to come up with a schedule that will be convenient for all concerned.

Please call 860-727-5727 or email us at ha@weavingcenter.org. And please visit our website to learn more about us: www.weavingcenter.org

Everybody Wins! CT

Everybody Wins! CT is a not-for-profit literacy and mentoring organization serving the capital region.  We are an independent affiliate of Everybody Wins! USA, which has provided reading enrichment and mentoring programs for at-risk youth in over 16 states since the program’s origins in New York City in 1991.

The flagship program of Everybody Wins! is “Power Lunch,” a lunchtime read-aloud program that matches adult volunteers – Reading Mentors – with children who read below grade level and/or need a positive adult role model.  Once per week, volunteers meet with the same children for a one-on-one half-hour reading session.

Everybody Wins! CT already has over 330 volunteers in the capital region reading to children – but so much more can be done.  Despite recent improvements in standardized test scores, children in cities like Hartford and New Britain still fall behind their suburban counterparts in literacy skills due to one of the widest achievement gaps in the nation.

Some of our most skilled and dedicated volunteers are retired teachers – and we would love to have even more of them among our legions of Reading Mentors! 

If interested, please contact:
