Volunteer Opportunities ~September 2010
Disabled Student Services-On Campus Volunteer Opportunity (Oceanside MiraCosta College) is looking for either one or two volunteers to help a student in either one or both of the following classes: SPEC 840 Mathematics, Tuesday & Thursday 11:00-12:15 and SPEC 850 English, on Tuesdays & Thursdays 9:30-10:45 (both classes are at the Oceanside Campus, room 3005). Volunteer must be extremely dependable, because the DSPS Student will depend on them to assist him in class. The in-class aide will sit with the student in class and assist him by: getting books out of his book bag or back pack; writing notes from lecture for him; gathering and turning in handouts and assignments, assistance as needed in our computer lab for writing assignments during class. Nothing will be required of a personal nature – no restroom assistance, transportation – nothing like that, just assistance in the class. Contact Maria Pena at (760) 757-2121 ext. 6297 or Nancy Schaffer (760) 757-2121 ext. 6311 or email nschaefer@miracosta.edu or mpena@miracosta.edu.
