The LINK Summer Program is looking for students who have an interest in working in a classroom at Woodlands Developmental Center over the summer. The LINK Program gives interested 7th-12th graders hands-on experience working with students living with developmental disabilities.
The student volunteers will be “Linked” with the Woodlands students to help them learn independence skills and socialization.
After some training sessions, LINK volunteers will work Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays through July and into August. Participants will get a free t-shirt and lanyard.
LINK can build valuable experience and career exploration for those thinking of a career in teaching, social work, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, or the medical field. Community service hours can be earned through the program.
The application process includes an essay and a letter of recommendation. Applications are due by May 16th.
For more information, call or email Chelsey Hull, School Social Worker, at 810-455-4366 or hull.chelsey@sccresa.org.
