More than 60 members of the Greater Las Vegas Association of REALTORS®(GLVAR) volunteered to help children at two local schools on Oct. 18 as part of their REALTORS®in the Classroom program in partnership with Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada.
REALTORS®in the Classroom is an annual community service program organized and sponsored by GLVAR to support children and their education. Volunteer REALTORS®spent the day teaming up with teachers to teach their classes for the day, while sharing their experiences and discussing life skills.
GLVAR members worked with students throughout the day at Judith Steele Elementary School,at 6995 W. Eldorado Lane,and at Robert Lunt Elementary School,at 2701 E. Harris Ave. in Las Vegas.
Local REALTOR®Shawn Cunningham, a member of GLVAR’s Board of Directors and one of the main organizers of the event, said it is rewarding for GLVAR members to work directly with local students and teachers and “helps empower, inspire and prepare young people to succeed in school and in life.”
