Volunteer FAQ
Volunteers don’t need to have experience, but it helps to have confidence, flexibility, patience, resourcefulness and compassion! Our most successful volunteers are able to find common ground, build relationships and believe that every student has the ability to learn.
Volunteers must be freshmen in high school or older. We encourage Freshmen to volunteer with a parent partner.
Volunteers commit to a weekly, regular schedule of 1-2 program hours per week for the duration of school year. Program shifts are after school or in the early evening.
Tutors are never expected to know all of the answers, but should be comfortable being a role model in how to find the answers. You can do a little research, access online resources or ask a teacher.
Step one is to fill out our online Volunteer Application. You will be contacted by our Volunteer Manager and a brief interview may follow. All volunteers over 18 must complete a background check and negative TB screening before working with students.
