Volunteer Opportunities with New Education Program
The Deaf Action Center of Dallas, Texas is recruiting volunteers for its new Education Program. We are dedicated to eliminating barriers to persons who are deaf or hard of hearing, and we are on a mission to help our students discover and develop their talents. We want to prepare them for fulfilling careers or vocations. Join our Education Team in turning around the trend that leads them through high school into a void of uncertainty. Our students are an untapped valuable resource. Support them. We start in Dallas. From Dallas, there is the world.
If you are goal-oriented, committed to learning, have compassion for others, and time to give.
Please consider becoming a tutor for Deaf Action Center’s Education Program.
Education Volunteer Tutoring Positions are open in the following areas:
• Academics: math, reading, writing, history, science, biology
• Testing: Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS), GED
