Fall 2009 Classroom Sign Up

Instructions

You will only go out once a week, but the more times you could possibly go, the easier it is to schedule everyone in a time that works for them. By joining Demos, you are making a commitment to a classroom of 3rd - 5th graders. You are expected to teach the same class at the same time each week, with a group of 1-2 other Yale students.

After scheduling, you will be contacted by a "School Coordinator", a Demos board member who is familiar with the school at which you are volunteering. They will provide you with more information about transportation, how to get materials, and answer any questions you may have. There will be one short meeting with your school coordinator before your first day in a classroom. They'll also give you a Demos T-Shirt and binder.

Any questions? Contact our co-coordinators, Ellie Hong and Rachel Corbin.

Available Times

Please indicate all times that you are available to volunteer by clicking on the boxes. It helps us immensely in matching up the most possible volunteers with the most possible classrooms.

Marking 1:00 but not 12:30 means that you can leave campus at 1:00. Similarly, marking "2:00-2:30" but not "2:30-3:00" means that you need to be back on campus by 2:30.

For scheduling purposes, please mark blocks of at least 1.5 hours in length.

You will be able to enter your preferences below to tell us at which times you would most like to volunteer. We will do our best to schedule you for your preferred time.
