Description
To provide youth, especially those of underprivileged backgrounds, with the opportunities to excel in both education and leadership.
High school students can volunteer to become tutors and mentors for students at any of the eleven locations. Students can also organize drives for used/new standardized test (SAT, AP, IB, etc.) preparation books at different locations and then deliver books to GIVE’s mailing address (in person is probably best).
No training is required, although there are trainings offered for tutors seeking to improve their skills. New tutors are required to attend the orientation session for their given center. We do ask that students coming to tutor have a solid academic background and prefer tutors with a 2.7 GPA or above.
Minimum Age: 14
Times Needed: Every Saturday and Sunday at different times depending on the chosen center location. Each volunteer can attend one or more centers one or more times.
Requirements for applying: A passion for community service and the patience to tutor younger students!
Long Term Commitment: Ideally tutors/mentors are expected to commit to aiding the same student for the whole year, but we also accept seasonal/occasional tutors. If this is your situation it is important to contact the GIVE center managers so that they have an understanding and expectation of your attendance.
