Volunteers Needed to Teach Religious School in 2010-11 - Earn Tuition/Dues Credit and Make a Difference
We are looking for dedicated parents to join the team of teachers at the BCRC Religious School. Teaching opportunities exist in elementary and middle school grades (Hebrew and/or Judaics). Lesson plans will be provided and our teachers will offer guidance and support (prior teaching experience is not necessary). Teaching is a mitzvah, is personally rewarding, and a means to connect with Judaism in a whole new way, while at the same time giving back to our community. Please contact Sharon Chiat with any questions and to discuss benefits (teachers may receive credit toward tuition or dues).
