WRC - Positions

ESD 112 > Services > WRC > Positions

Volunteer and student read together

As a part of a vibrant team, you'll have the opportunity to visit other WRC schools in southwest Washington, serve in the community, and develop relationships both at your school and with fellow WRC members.

Serving a rural area at a small school will allow you to become an integral part of the community. Serving in an urban area will give you many chances to interact with a diverse community. You'll have students for whom Spanish, Russian or Ukrainian is their native tongue. Help them learn a new language! See the changes you will experience within yourself. Passions, talents, skills, and abilities you never knew you possessed will become daily tools in your service and your future.
