Summer school help is needed with elementary students. Sessions are June and July.
Imagine being a young student placed in a classroom where you don't yet understand the language of your teacher or peers. Newcomer students face these challenges and more as they navigate an unfamiliar school system.
The Match Program at IMAA supports multi-language learner (MLL) students in Rochester Public Schools by placing volunteers in Newcomer K-12 classrooms.
Students need support with basic English and other academic help.
No second language required; compassion, patience, and time are all that is needed.
Most volunteers spend 1-2 hours a week at sites.
