Opportunity Description:

Our ISM program is for Children who are referred to the program by staff at the school.  Volunteers are required to commit to meeting the young person they are Matched with once a week for an hour for the duration of the school year (typically starting in October-December until April-June).  Matches meet in a separate space set aside by the school and hangout and do puzzles, play board games and do arts and crafts.  Occasionally there may be an active space available.
