Do you have plans to scale out? I'd volunteer time but I'm not near any of the cities you currently work in. (For others who are in the same position -- inquire with your city / church / local refugee support org, you may find there are similar local initiatives for refugees.)
Also, this being (I assume) a weekday daytime commitment, do your volunteers get typically get their teaching time 'donated' by their employers?
Hi! We don't have formally announced plans to scale - though if you send me a message at becca@scripted.org I can chat with you more. I'm fairly well connected with other orgs nationally that I might be able to recommend to you, depending where you're located!
Some of the companies our volunteers work for have paid volunteering time included as part of employee benefits - however that amount of time is usually 1 day / month, which is less than the amount of time we ask people to volunteer (2x a week, for 1.5 hours each session). Most commonly, our volunteers employ some flex time and make up the hours they spend with us by either coming in to work earlier, or staying late. It does require manager / company support to get approval to do so, however!
