We are looking for volunteers specifically for Mondays. Must be available from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm! The first day of the program for new volunteers will be March 4th. If interested, please email uconn.co.cope@gmail.com as soon as possible for more information :)
What is COPE? COPE is a mentoring program that services Mansfield Elementary Schools in the surrounding area. The program caters to children going through any sort of family change such as a divorce, death in the family or a new move, etc. We teach these young children coping mechanisms through creative activities they take part with a UConn volunteer during the school day. These skills they learn will enable them to best deal with the social and emotional challenges that come with the changes in their lives.
Transportation is provided to and from sites for all participants!
