Nossos Voluntários

O EduMais não seria nada sem os voluntários incríveis prontos para dar seu melhor!

Nosso time de voluntários é apaixonado por guiar e ensinar crianças e adolescentes

Eles são selecionados baseados nas suas crenças, forças, experiências e habilidades educacionais.

O time de voluntários é treinado com a Disciplina Positiva pela fundadora do EduMais, Diana Nijboer (Certificada em  Disciplina Positiva na sala de aula e Educadora de pais)

Eles criam uma espaço de amor e segurança para que as crianças explorem, experimentem e aprendam enquanto se sentem conectadas e validadas.

Educação é um ato de amor. Se voluntariar é um ato de amor.
