Hands On Asheville-Buncombe
The Volunteer Center of United Way                                             February 2015
Dear Hands On Volunteer,
Little Learners
Hands On has collaborated with Asheville City Schools Preschool to create a project to support preschool-age children. Many families want to provide educational activities for their children, but have limited resources and access to appropriate learning materials at home. This portable project engages volunteers in creating hands-on, supplemental materials at home that will be given to families to support their children's early learning outside the classroom. Project themes include number, shape and color recognition to sharpen their little minds!  Learn more.
