Mugshots! Neighborhood House staff who can answer your questions-

These are three great leaders at Neighborhood House. On any given day, one or all three may be present. Whitney is in the center above and is the Director of Children's programs. Kevin, on the right, is in charge of the afterschool program and the computer lab(while also working on a postgraduate degree in counseling). He has transformed the upstairs classroom into a learning rich environment full of exciting possibilities for the kids of NH. Daniel, on the left, works with the children of NH in both the daycare and after school programs. I am currently acquainting him with the paperwork we use so he can help you find things if they are missing. Please try to figure out where things are on your own first, but if you are at a loss, check with these problem solvers.

Whitney, Kevin, and Daniel are keys in helping you track down kids to work with and in letting you know where to send the children when you have finished with them.

They are also important resources if children in the tutoring classroom are being noisy or acting up. The classroom is essentially a study hall not a social space, so the room should be mostly calm and fairly quiet to allow the kids to concentrate. All the children in the room should be focused on either reading, math, or homework.

Some days, Jane Parker or I(Peter Creech) will be there to help you out as well.

Thanks for volunteering. pc
