What you need to know
DAP is an 8-week long program where volunteers (in groups of 2 or 3) visit their assigned elementary school once a week to teach kids pre-prepared lessons about nutrition and health. Volunteers are paired according to their schedules. Teaching times are typically some time between 3pm and 5pm. We are careful to work around your schedule, and time commitment averages around 1hr/week or less.
Don't worry if you don't have a car, we will pair you with another volunteer who has one. Volunteers need to be committed to teaching the full semester. You may be able to find a substitute to teach for you once or twice during the semester if a conflict arises, but please don't plan to miss any of your teaching appointments if possible. If you are aware of any conflicts ahead of time, please inform the PDs as soon as possible.
Volunteer forms are due by the 3rd week of each semester. And don't worry, this isn't necessarily an application. We just want to make sure you're committed to sticking with us for a full semester.
