If you are able and have the time to volunteer, please email Joan Neher for the following volunteer opportunities:
The First United Methodist Church of Richardson sponsors elementary schools in RISD, including Mark Twain. Volunteers are needed to help students with reading and other activities on Thursdays at Mark Twain. You do not need to be a church member to be a volunteer but are asked to volunteer through the church website.
You must undergo an annual background check to work in the schools, and there is a quick method to do that on the church website.

Volunteering at a school is an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children in our community. Volunteering will put a smile on your face and love in the hearts of our youth. Please join us soon!
