Astor Home for Children Volunteers
The Astor Home for Children is a home and school for emotionally disturbed, often abused, and otherwise disadvantaged and challenged children. The Bard TLS Astor Home project allows Bard students to become mentors and positive role models for the children at the Astor Home in Rhinebeck, NY. Bard students can engage the Astor students in a variety of activities—knitting, ping pong, cooking, arts and crafts, reading, writing poetry, and playing chess, to name a few. Volunteers spend an average of 1-2 hours a week with a child at the Astor Home, helping that child learn a skill, develop a hobby, and learn that s/he is worth others’ time and energy.
