Practical Working Experience Opportunities for Universities, State Colleges and Junior Colleges

Working directly with departments, administrators, and individual professors of higher education is a comparative new service provided by the Wooten Center to academic departments which have courses requiring student to work with children. To those requirements we offer the following advantages:

  • We have a large number of children with varied home situations, backgrounds, and individual characteristics. Children fall into the entire spectrum from well adjusted to less well-balanced, and from highly intelligent to remedial to learning impaired.

  • Students coming to the Center would be in a child management situation and not in a books, lectures, and theory environment.

  • Adult supervisory personnel at the Center can assist students in their interaction with the children and provide feedback directly to administrators and instructors on progress.

What to Volunteer?

 :The Center's staff has come up with many ways to conduct learning activities. Some of these are:

  • One-on-one tutoring, oral reading comprehension and homework assistance.

  • Visual presentations to groups of children on various topics...

  • Group dynamics - Open Forum for discussion of pros and cons of subject material.

  • Conducting community service projects to enrich society and the lives of others.

  • TTK - Teens Teaching Kids

How to Volunteer

Many people think about volunteering but do not realize how easy it is and how satisfying it can be. Many have specialized skills but can not think of a way to fit these skills into our society and its environment. If you are interested in discussing how you can help, call:
