CAN YOU HELP? Roots of Empathy looking for two types of volunteers – including families with babies

With the new school year approaching, Roots of Empathy needs volunteer instructors – and volunteer families with babies. Here’s the announcement sent to us to share with you:Roots of Empathy is an evidence-based, internationally recognized classroom program serving children ages 5–13. Roots of Empathy reduces aggression, increases sharing, caring, and inclusion, and promotes resilience, well-being, and positive mental health. Volunteers come from many backgrounds—former teachers, school counselors, therapists, social workers, parents, grandparents, or anyone familiar and enthusiastic about working with children. If you would like more information or are interested in participating, please contact Roots of Empathy Program Manager, Melissa Cornwell, via email at mcornwell@rootsofempathy.org
