Afterschool Program Assistant
Clarkston, Georgia, United States
Throughout the school year, I assisted the program director and lead teachers in an afterschool program catering to over 50 middle schoolers in the refugee community. My responsibilities included facilitating emotional growth activities, supervising study hall and recreational activities, overseeing various clubs, and organizing other initiatives aimed at fulfilling the kids' needs. In addition, I volunteered my time to distribute books and school supplies, distribute candy for Halloween, and deliver presents to the students during the holidays.My most significant accomplishment was that I formed a special relationship with a struggling student and helped her complete daily school work, including homework, make-up work, and test preparation. I ensured that she passed her classes and enjoyed learning. To encourage her further, I delivered goodie bags of candy and snacks to her home every few weeks.
