Get Involved: Tutors Needed for Ridgecrest Elementary Students

A Power of One volunteer works in a Shoreline classroom

Although the school year is drawing to a close, students at Ridgecrest Elementary need your support. Volunteers are wanted to work with students in grades 1, 2 or 3. 

You would help by helping them with their reading and math skills on a consistent, weekly basis. Teachers provide materials and instruction. Shifts are available between 8:30 and 11am or 1:45-2:55pm Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursdays. Hours are also available Friday.

Anyone interested in working with young people in a classroom setting is encouraged to apply. The time commitment is at least one hour a week until the end of the school year. If this sounds like you, contact Karen Kessinger, volunteer coordinator for the Power of One Volunteer program, which is affiliated with the school district and sponsored by the Shoreline-LFP Senior Center.

All applicants must be at least 18 years old, complete an application, pass a Washington State Patrol background check and attend an orientation. Contact Karen Kessinger by email, or by telephone 206-365-1169.
