Theology Bleeds: Great Commission Emphasis
Evangelistic Opportunities
Location of Opportunity
Hazelwood Elementary School Family Resource Center 1325 Bluegrass Ave., Louisville, KY 40215
Description of Opportunity
Hazelwood Elementary School serves roughly 450 students in Louisville’s south end. Over 90% of the students receive free or reduced lunch due to the low income status of their homes with the majority of families being headed by single moms. The Family Resource Center works directly with parents and students to address problems at home and at school that hinder children from being able to achieve at their highest potential. Examples of such problems include lack of basic needs, drug and alcohol abuse, lack of education and physical and mental health issues.
Opportunities for service include planning and implementing after school programs, coordinating parent workshops, helping with clerical work, fundraising and developing community contacts. Mentoring and tutoring opportunities are available as well. Most any kind of project can be developed that will work within the constraints of the volunteer’s time and area of interest.
Time Requirement
Time requirements will vary depending on area of service. However, both short-term and long-term opportunities are available.
