  • A vital member of a school’s recess team by assisting with recess games
  • Act as an informal role model or “grandparent figure” to children ages 5-12
  • Part of a national movement where adults across the country are using recess as a way to make a positive impact on the lives of children and promote healthy relationships

  • Gain experience and knowledge through personalized trainings.
  • Create close and personal bonds with school aged children and teachers alike.
