BSD2 CARE Volunteer Program
CARE stands for Cultivating Academic Readiness and Excellence
Cultivating Academic Readiness and Excellence is a volunteer program in which members of the District 2 community volunteer to help students refine skills they’re being taught by their classroom teachers. CARE volunteers give just one hour of their time each week to mentor K-8 students in reading, writing, math, science, social studies and other subjects.
On average, around 300 CARE volunteers provided approximately 7,000 hours of academic support. Together, they make a difference in the lives of more than 2,000 BSD2 students.
To volunteer with Cultivating Academic Readiness and Excellence or for more information, please contact Lara Schwarz, CARE Coordinator & Community Liaison, at 630-766-2605, ext. 3202 or lschwarz@bsd2.org.
