Rotarians and other community leaders are invited to serve Livermore's youth by participating as a Team Facilitator in the Ambassadors of Compassion R.I.S.E. program that launches Friday, February 28 for 7th and 8th grade students at Junction Avenue K-8 School.
This 8-week program improves students' mental and emotional wellbeing. The curriculum, in just one hour a week, teaches emotional resilience, character development, and leadership that helps to reduce anxiety, depression, and negative thoughts. This program was a huge success at Junction Ave last year; Principal Jeannette Garza is eager to have it return.
Please indicate your availability to serve as a facilitator one hour a week for 8 weeks:
Volunteer Information
All activities take place at Junction Avenue K-8 School, 298 Junction Avenue, Livermore, 94551. The program meets Fridays, starting February 28 and through April 25. Students meet in small groups facilitated by Rotarian and community volunteers to discuss Ambassadors of Compassion content and process real-life issues, as they grow in their own self-awareness that will enable them to lead a successful, fulfilling life.
The Middle School RISE program focuses on teaching students about responsibility, initiative, service, and expectations. Involvement by Rotarians is key to helping students benefit from this program.
