There are many ways you can share your time and talent to make a positive impact on our students. Thomas A. Edison is always looking for volunteers willing to:

 

  • Be a tutor
  • Be a teacher's aide
  • Be a guest speaker
  • Provide job-shadowing sites
  • Provide service learning opportunities
  • Provide work-based learning opportunities that can be connected back to the classroom (e.g. internships, longer-term career exploration activities)
  • Provide unpaid, short-term work experience sites
  • Participate in mock interviews
  • Read resumes and provide tips and feedback
  • Provide connections to positive role models with learning differences (friends, family, employees or work associates)
