TCH Volunteers:
Hello TCH Volunteers. We have not forgotten about you and the depth of service you provide. Due to the pandemic, we have been challenged in many ways. Our doors remain closed, although we serve clients by appointment only and classes are delivered via zoom. Volunteer, staff and client safety is paramount.
However, with the rollout of the vaccine, TCH is developing future plans to reopen the building when CDC guidelines allow. This will include volunteer services.
As many of you know, the majority of TCH volunteers serve as tutors for Read2Me. Unfortunately, Tacoma Public Schools (TPS) and TCH suspended this program last year, and currently TPS is not allowing volunteers into schools. However, we continue communications with TPS to monitor the reopening of schools and how we might re-imagine Read2me if needed. More to come!
Numerous other TCH volunteers participate in Talk Time, serve as one-on-one tutors, and provide administrative support. Again, we are developing ways to safely re-engage you. In the meantime, we thank you for your patience and faith in TCH.
