Volunteer Opportunity with Gary DADs Club

The IU Office for P-16 Research and Collaboration needs approximately 12 IU students who aren’t going to the 10/25 Homecoming Game from 1 p.m. to 3:30 to assist a group of 32 4th-6th grade boys and 12 fathers from the Watson Academy in Gary, IN with a literacy-based scavenger hunt across campus. The Gary DADs Club requested this campus visit and we’ll be having lunch at noon with the kids in Wright Food Court, and then will do the scavenger hunt starting at 1p.m., and finishing up around 3:30 so they can get to the men’s exhibition basketball game at Assembly Hall for 4 p.m.

We were going to break the kids and fathers up into 12 groups and wanted an IU student to accompany each group. Males would be preferable, but we’ll take anyone willing! Interested students contact P-16 Intern Ashley Urben at aurben@indiana.edu.
