Roots of Empathy Seeking Volunteers

Siuslaw Elementary is the home of an innovative program that uses a baby to help reduce bullying. Roots of Empathy is a worldwide movement to change the world one child at a time, and they are in need of an instructor to help them make the program happen this year at SES. Volunteer instructors receive four days of training (October 10-12 and an additional day mid-way through the school year) and ongoing mentoring to deliver a session each week in the SES first-grade classrooms where they work to build empathy.
