Come tutor with us!! We hold 4 two-day training sessions a school year -- September, October, November and January. Most sessions occur on two consecutive Saturdays from 8:45 AM to 4:00 PM. New this year! Weekday training sessions will be offered on Monday, October 13 and Friday, October 24, 2025.
2025-26 training dates are:
September 13 and 20, 2025 (Saturdays)
October 13 (Monday) and 24 (Friday), 2025
November 8 and 15, 2025 (Saturdays)
January 10 and 17, 2026 (Saturdays)
The two-day training includes learning how racism and poverty affect our students and the tutors on the first day, and brain development, the 5 components of reading, writing, and lesson planning on the second day.
Once trained, you will work with one student for the school year, building a trusting relationship that helps the student believe in themselves and dare to risk on the journey to learning.
Volunteers must pass background and reference checks.
