By: St. Vincent and Sarah Fisher Center “It is an extraordinarily rewarding experience,” Unfortunately, the Center can only service as many children as it has volunteers. Currently, there is a waiting list of children seeking assistance. The program meets weekly on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Two sessions per week are held on site at the Trinity Street location in Detroit; the other day is spent as a field trip. The summer-long learning program is aimed at first, second and third graders. In addition to helping these children build reading and math skills, the program provides students with experiences that they do not experience in their typical school classroom. People interested in participating are encouraged to call volunteer coordinator Sister Marie Judith at (313) 535-9200, ext. 3104. All volunteers receive orientation and training, and are assisted daily by Center’s dedicated staff. Founded in 1844, the St. Vincent and Sarah Fisher Center most recently served Southeastern Michigan as a residential/ St. Vincent and Sarah Fisher Center moved to Detroit to continue nearly 170 years of service to the community through basic skill-building and academic enhancement for at-risk children and adults. These programs are designed to help build self-sufficiency skills for academic and employment success, personal achievement and dignity. In March 2011, The Education Experience was launched, with expanded hours and programs, to better serve the community. For more information, visit http://www.svsfcenter.org/ End
