For the Nations: Refugee Outreach – Co-op Classroom Aide

For the Nations: Refugee Outreach – Preschool Aide

In preschool, 3 and 4-year-olds learn fine and gross motor skills, social skills, pre-reading and math skills, and of course, the gospel of Christ. Preschool classes are taught by a full-time teacher and need help from a teacher’s aide each morning (9:15–11:15 am) and afternoon (12:15–2:15 pm).

Mercy Street: Sports Coaching

Mercy Street’s vision is to build Christian leaders in inner-city Dallas, and we believe team sports can play a huge role in this.  Your role as a coach/mentor would be to teach the fundamentals of the sport while using it as a tool to share the Gospel.
