VOLUNTEER ROLES & RESPONSABLITIES 

Volunteers are expected to arrive by 3:15 on their chosen day and stay until 5:00 pm. If you are unable to make your chosen day, please let the Executive Director know as far in advance as possible so that they can schedule a replacement to work with your class or student.

The role of a volunteer tutor can vary depending on the grade level, the specific teacher’s teaching style, and the academic needs of the students on a specific day. Tutors should look to the teacher for guidance, and ask for direction as necessary. As teachers and volunteers begin to work together, they will recognize areas of interest and strengths and will be able to adjust the role as necessary to be most effective. Volunteer tutors can be expected to perform any of the following tasks throughout the year, but classroom activities are not limited to these:

  • One-on-one reading with students.
  • One-on-one homework assistance with the students.
  • Work with a small group of students while teacher engages the rest of the class.
  • Provide a talk to students based on experience or special knowledge.

 

VOLUNTEER EXPECTATIONS

If at any time, you are confused or uncomfortable with a part of the role or task, please do not hesitate to let the executive director know immediately. We want our volunteers to be as fulfilled with their roles as they are helpful to the kids and teachers! Volunteers are expected to show the highest moral character. By working as a volunteer, you are functioning as a role model and mentor for all of students. In many cases, you will be providing knowledge and experience to our students that they do not encounter in their home environment.

CORE OBJECTIVES

  1. To ensure that our students have the English and Math skills to succeed in a college or career.
