"Volunteering was fun. I felt it was a nice change of pace to work with kids and be grounded by their sense of humor. . . and a reality check after being stressed out at law school!"

CSV People

Staff

CSV consists of 10 full and part-time professional staff members with experience in the fields of education, social work, and program development with children and families at-risk. Staff provide oversight, screening, training, recognition and support to sustain the impressive contributions of volunteers. Staff manage the many tutoring and mentoring programs in the city's elementary schools and high school, including special corporate as well as intergenerational literacy and math programs.

One of CSV's vital roles is to ensure that each volunteer activity has a sound educational basis rather than a "feel good" premise. Volunteers receive orientation, training, curriculum information and support from CSV staff. Staff also evaluate each program to help them stay on track.
