K-Camp

We believe every child should be ready for kindergarten. However, we know that many children in Southwestern Indiana are starting school already behind their peers. K-Camp is a collaboration between the United Way and the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation to help children who have never attended preschool or need more time in a preschool setting, prepare for kindergarten in the fall. K-Camp is FREE for all participants, but an application is required.

Last year, 100% of students who attended K-Camp displayed improvement on post-assessment reading skills!

K-Camp Volunteers

Volunteers are important to our K-Camp program by assisting teachers prepare children with little to no preschool experience for their new roles as kindergartners. During the four-week program, children will adjust to a classroom setting, practice following directions and rules, practice skills such as recognizing shapes, letters, counting and writing their names.  Training for K-Camp volunteers is provided.

• Volunteers Needed: Classroom Assistants
  
• Time Commitment:  Weekday mornings, varies based on volunteer availability
• Must complete EVSC Volunteer Form and an FBI Criminal History Background Check

To volunteer as a classroom assistant, contact Birdie Harrison at 812.421.7475 or sign up here.

In addition to K-Camp, United Way of Southwestern Indiana provided support and invested $683,726 towards funding 9 programs and services that focused on education in our community last year.
