The Human Domino Effect is an inspiring program that unites generations to support elementary students’ character development and reading skills. By volunteering at Julius Marks Elementary School in Lexington, Kentucky, OLLI members will engage with young learners through “Character Equations,” a fun and impactful approach to teaching life principles. Volunteers will also listen to students as they read aloud to build reading fluency, encouraging confidence and literacy. The program begins with a two-week orientation, followed by weekly mentorship sessions where you’ll guide students in exploring and applying traits like responsibility, resilience, and empathy. By joining this program, you’re actively shaping our community’s future - creating a stronger, healthier, and happier generation of students!
PLEASE NOTE: Participation in volunteer opportunities will require a background check. Instructor will assist with completing those requirements.
