The morning session focuses on reading help for students ages 5-7 and the afternoon RAD! (Reading! Art! Dance!) program provides students ages 7-11 with literacy skills via the a wide variety of arts experiences and field trips to destinations through the community.
Teaching Associates and Volunteers will work directly with MSA’s Community Outreach Manager to provide a welcoming, safe environment in which students from our East Bayside neighborhood and the surrounding community can participate in a variety of performing and visual arts, improve their written and spoken English language skills, and gain self-confidence.
