OPMAD is looking for volunteers to help with homework or to teach a hobby after school to students in grades kindergarten to 8th grade. OPMAD students are divided into 4 groups; Cluster 1 Grades k-1st, Cluster 2 Grades 2nd & 3rd; Cluster 3 Grades 4th & 5th; Cluster 4 Grades 6th-8th.
Past volunteers have taught a cooking class to students in grades 3rd -5th. There has been a knitting class for students in grades 6th - 8th. There are many opportunities to teach a small group of students a hobby or some type of help with academic enhancement.
Volunteers will fill out an application, go through a normal interview process, a background check will be done on anyone who is qualified to volunteer. This opportunity is sponsored by: Organized Parents Make A Difference, Inc. (OPMAD)

Overall Experience 
Volunteering with OPMAD has been fantastic! The program offers Hartford children the opportunity to participate in fun, educational afterschool activities!
|
OPMAD offers a wide variety of afterschool classes for elementary school children, with the first session running from 3:00 to 4:30, and then the second from 4:30 to 6:00. I feel this extended afterschool program not only enriches the lives of the children who participate, but it also allows their parents to not feel they have to rush from work or cut their hours to pick up their children from school at 3:00. I have taught a cooking class at OPMAD for the last two years and it has been a heartfelt experience. I will be returning in the fall to teach my third session, and am looking forward to it!
