Volunteer Training & Resources
Thank you for volunteering with JABC!
Prior to volunteering in a classroom (either in person or virtually), you will be required to participate in program-specific training. These sessions are important as they provide you with info about:
- Your role as a volunteer
- The host teacher’s role
- What to expect from and how to connect with the students
- An overview of the lessons
- How to facilitate the activities – tips and techniques
- Materials you will bring to the classroom
Please see the 2020 Virtual Volunteer Training Dates below.
So you are well prepared for your volunteer sessions, please plan additional time on your own to review the program materials.
