Maidstone Education Program
St Vincent de Paul Society (Vic)St Vincent de Paul Society is establishing a new Education Program in Maidstone.
We want to encourage reading by primary students, particularly those with literacy challenges.
Similar to the Vinnies West Heidelberg Education Program, which has been running for ten years, the Maidstone Education Program will rely on volunteers working closely with students.
Maidstone Education Program is looking for volunteers on Thursdays 3.30 – 5pm at Maidstone Community Centre, 21 Yardley St., Maidstone
The program will begin in mid June 2019.
Committed volunteers of all ages who are available on Thursday afternoons are encouraged to become involved.
Volunteers with a background in teaching literacy to children and working with children with challenging behaviours are particularly sought after.
Secondary students (for instance, as part of a community service program) and tertiary Education or Social Work students who are looking to work in community education programs are also suitable.
Volunteers require a Working with Children Check.
