Volunteer
I did my co-op in a kindergarten classroom, helping students and supporting the teacher by supporting the students one-on-one, reading to the students and doing simple tasks for the teacher. I volunteer with the after-school program that runs at Kawartha Heights School. I volunteered at my daughter's school when she went on class trips by helping to keep other students safe and supervising them.
