With the official announcement of virtual schooling at the start of the upcoming school year, Lotus House is preparing to offer a structured, supportive learning environment that caters to the special needs of our children. Approximately 90 school aged children, from kindergarten through high school, will benefit from our Lotus Learning Pod - providing intensive supports, resources and guidance as they navigate this new way of learning, one that presents unique hurdles for sheltered children.
Please consider supporting us in providing a sense of normalcy, while ensuring that they do not fall behind academically. There are several ways in which you can contribute to our Lotus Learning Pod!
Volunteer!
Virtual School Assistance: Volunteers assisting in this capacity will help our children navigate the online school portal system, provide support with assignments and work to ensure that their virtual school experience is successful.
Enrichment Programming: Volunteers assisting in this capacity will provide support for our enrichment programming made available to children of all ages, offering additional opportunities for healing, growth and learning. Programming support will include tutoring in all subjects, help with homework, providing assistance with activities hosted in "The Farm", supporting activities in our Arts & Activities Lab and Yoga & Meditation Room, helping with off site field trips and more.
College Prep: Volunteers assisting in this capacity will work closely with our high school students and help prepare them for college exams, assist with college applications and other required items in the pursuit of their higher education.

Our Lotus Learning Pod will require additional team members to ensure that our children are provided with the proper resources and attention that they will need to thrive in a virtual school environment. In addition to hiring teachers and teachers'' aides, we continue to invest in standard supplies and necessary PPE to ensure a safe learning experience.
