Through offering your services through extracurricular lessons for our students, the way they experience the world will broaden. For many of our students, most of what they knew before attending VT were only the four walls of their home. Their time with us at VT is a unique opportunity to help them engage with the world in a new way and have experiences they assumed before weren't possible. Art/craft and music lessons, adapted recreation, and science experiments are just a few examples of extracurricular lessons our students have had, as well as the opportunity to express themselves in new ways.
Translation will be provided for volunteers.
