The School Volunteer Program of Los Angeles is designed to assist teachers in providing more individualization and enrichment of instruction; to increase children's motivation for learning, to provide an opportunity for interested community members to participate effectively in the school's program, and to strengthen school-community relations through this positive participation. The purpose of this pamphlet is to describe the general operation of the program and to introduce a variety of materials and guidelines related to the following topics: (1) recruitment and selection procedures, (2) preservice orientation and inservice training of school volunteers, (3) program administration and organization (including a differentiation of the responsibilities of staff coordinator, classroom teacher, school volunteer chairman, volunteer area coordinator, and school volunteer); and (4) suggested areas of service (differentiating responsibilities according to services requiring minimal, average, or special skills or training). The pamphlet includes a list of publications available from the School Volunteer Office--publications designed to be of practical value in program design and implementation and to treat a wide variety of topics (For example, "Interviewing School Volunteers,""School Volunteers Handbook," or "How I Can Help Children Learn To Read.")
