After School Program Support - Franklin Gateway

This was my second day at YELLS and just like the first it was welcoming, the majority of the kids remembered me and it felt nice that they did. I arrived at soon as leadership started and the kids were working on their Menu for a sale that was occurring in the next following week. I assisted them with creating menu posters and after that we moved onto homework.

The very first day everyone was extremely inviting, especially the children. They were so eager to know who I was and what I was there to do. I joined pod 2 and assisted them for the routine of the day. I had to jump into the activities, since I arrived there at 5:15 but it was very easy to do so.

The children and other volunteers were very welcoming. All the children have so many different personalities. I helped the kids create letters based on an event they would be having. I helped them create ideas, use proper grammar, and make sure all the qualities of the letter were met. I was never left with no work, I continuously had something to do. Those 2 hours went by very fast. I think the work the children do is very engaging and informational.

SO much fun! helped with homework and in the pods!

Helped with leadership!
