Currently Needed

Volunteers are especially needed in the following areas:

  • Math and Reading tutors. Work with struggling mathematicians or readers to develop some of their basic skills. (Middle School and High School)
  • Literacy tutors. After brief training, tutors read with students one on one at least once a week. (Middle School)
  • Project tutors. Tutors work one on one with students to help them create cohesive projects. They may help students in a particular skill area, such as writing, public speaking, creating visual presentations, and so on. (High School)
  • Project consultants. People who cannot find time to volunteer on a regular basis may make themselves available to high school students to answer questions on an area of expertise via phone or email. (High School)
  • Grant writers. There are a number of grants available to both Middle School and High School. You would work directly with our Development Director to help bring needed funding into the school.
  • Nutrition and Lunch Supervisors. Supervisors watch the students during break times and engage them in conversation or games.
  • Guest Speakers. Generally, Speakers share their expertise with students by being a guest lecturer in a class and then follow up by providing internship opportunities for the students.
