CareShare VCU Seeks Parents, Volunteers

CareShare VCU is a peer-to-peer collaboration that matches VCU family volunteers (students/faculty/staff) with VCU student-parents who need support. This initiative was created by the Graduate Student Association to address the need for VCU students to have protected time to complete their own schoolwork (while caring for their own children and helping them complete their schoolwork). Both volunteers and parents in need are being recruited. Questions, email CareShareVCU@gmail.com.

For more information, contact Ann Kee at keesa@vcu.edu.
