Special Needs Surrogate Parent |
 |
 |
 |
SFUSD is recruiting volunteers to make a difference in the education of special needs children. These volunteers will act as a student’s “surrogate parent” for educational issues and will help students who receive special education services. Training will be provided on a variety of special education topics, including individualized education programs (IEP), parents’ rights, and educational goals. The school district assigns “surrogate parents” when no parent can be located or when juvenile court has specifically limited the right of parents or guardians to make educational decisions. Orientation and training will be provided to individuals or interested groups. To inquire or apply: Call 415 379-7642; Fax 415 750-8690; email Carol Kocivar at

If you'd like to make a difference in the life of a San Francisco child from a low-income neighborhood, consider volunteering with Reading Partners. Reading Partners is a local nonprofit organization that makes getting involved in your local public schools organized and enjoyable. Donating 1 hour/week can make a tremendous difference to a struggling young reader.
All tutoring is one-on-one, and is done with a Reading Partners staff member in the room to support you. Sign up for a time that works for you - tutoring generally takes place Monday-Thursday, from 9am-5pm. No experience required - our structured curriculum is easy to follow.
5 convenient locations across San Francisco, including Bayview, Potrero Hill, Visitacion Valley, Castro/Mission and Cow Hollow.

Can You Find Two Hours a Week To Change A Child's Life?
If you are interested in working one-on-one with at risk children in San Francisco, you may want to contact The College-Bound Foundation(CBF). CBF pairs volunteer Tutors with students living in San Francisco Public Housing. Each Tutor works in partnership with a Learning Coach and agrees to meet with an assigned child once a week for one year. The time and devotion provided by you and the Learning Coach helps to focus and motivate the student,often averting bad life decisions and enhancing academic performance. As a Tutor you will focus on one of the core subjects that the child is struggling in. You will also be in partnership with the teacher and in some cases a school counselor.
