Volunteer for Field Trip Programs: Tuesdays & Thursdays, 10:30 AM - 1:00 PM
As our beloved programs regain momentum, we’re particularly excited about the revival of our “Field Trip” series. Held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM, these sessions are a cornerstone of our mission, providing students with immersive, hands-on learning experiences.
To ensure the success of these field trips, we are in need of dedicated volunteers. Whether you can commit to one session or several, your participation will be instrumental in creating memorable and educational experiences for our students.

This is a unique opportunity to directly engage with our young learners, guiding them through interactive activities that spark creativity and foster a love of learning. If you have a passion for education and a few hours to spare on Tuesdays and Thursdays, we would be thrilled to have you join our team.

For more information on how to get involved and make a meaningful impact during our Field Trip sessions, please contact Aminah Hussein at aminah@826msp.org. Your support is the key to unlocking the potential of each student, one field trip at a time.

Warm regards,
The 826 MSP Team
