Older Adults Help in Many Ways in Teaneck Schools

     Reading buddies. Math tutors. Lunch monitors. After-school club leaders. Clerical assistants. Teaneck Public Schools are seeking community volunteers to serve in a variety of roles, as part of a new vision the district is calling “The Teaneck Advantage.”  

     “This 'advantage' includes all of our community volunteers who are so giving of their time, talent and treasure to help support the educational and emotional growth of our students,” said Terry Corallo, director of community relations and chief of staff. “Our in- school volunteers are placed based on how they want to help work with our students or schools; and we welcome the Age-Friendly community to join us in this effort."
     Volunteers may participate on a regular basis or a few times a year, depending on their interest and schedule. Those interested must attend a training session and undergo a criminal background check, the cost of which is reimbursed by the school district.
