YOU ARE PART OF THE FUTURE
  

Twenty miles lie between Boston and Wayland. Racial and cultural differences may also exist. The FUTURE needs us to make these realities into assets and not into barriers. Participate and support the events and programs listed below.

PERSONAL VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Become a Family Friend*- Boston Resident Families need support to nurture long distance friendships AND Wayland Resident Families need support in navigating their connections to their remote community. This program matches Boston and Wayland resident families attending Wayland's elementary. Families will be expected to participate in parent info sessions as well as parent socials to meet and build trust. The goal is for families to build a relationship and comfort level to meet on their own. Along with the program sponsored events for students we hope and encourage pairings to attend special social activities and/or participate at regular school functions together. Transportation is provided for program scheduled play dates. 

Become a Boston Parent Council/School PTO Liaison*- Our two communities are active in planning for the future of our children and schools. We need representatives from the Boston Parent Council and each school's PTO to be in regular contact, reporting at respective meetings whatever is deemed relevant.

*If you are interested in any of the above personal volunteer opportunities please reach out to our METCO Director La Toya Rivers, M.Ed. to set up a meeting for more details.
