Information on eligibility, enrollment, or other contact information

Tualatin Elementary is excited to announce that they have secured an Americorps placement for the next school year. This was a very competitive placement and they are thrilled to have someone devoted to intensive tutoring during and after the school day. As their special project, they will assist with TEAF (Tualatin Elementary Arts Foundation) and will do outreach in the community, with colleges and high schools, and local businesses to secure volunteers and donations of goods and services that will benefit TEAF, the school garden, and their school for years to come.

If you know of someone who may be interested in this placement, please pass along this recruitment poster and the link to the AmeriCorps information page. Feel free to share widely!
