Rights for Returning Citizens

Date: Feb 28, 2012 at 12:35pm to 3:55pm
Rights for Returning Citizens is recently initiated project that combats the various obstacles that citizens released from prison face upon reentry into society. On Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:15-3:15 and then again from 3:15-5:15, the first part of the Rights for Returning Citizens project will be taking place at Shad Elementary School in South East DC hosting computer classes to teach these citizens basic computer skills in order to aid them in getting jobs. Volunteers will act as Teaching Assistants in these classes. You will be mainly offering individual help to support the the teacher that is already there. You will by no means be asked to instruct a class! You will most likely be helping with very basic computer skills like how to turn the computer on or how to pull up programs off of the "Start" menu or log onto the internet. Keep in mind that some of the people you will be working with most likely have never used a computer before, so your assistance will really be helping them out! Please note, the elementary school is in A QUARTER MILE WEST OF THE Congressional Heights Metro Stop on the Blue Line!!
