Be a part of the effort to help more students go to college! This program focuses on high school students who are eligible to graduate but are not currently passing the more stringent College Readiness Standard. Students benefit from meeting community professionals and college students who bring relevance and importance to this process. Volunteer in one or several of the following areas:
Classroom Speakers:Volunteers will speak to students about the benefits of a college education and what it takes to be prepared for college. Students will be invited to sign up for Saturday tutoring sessions to prepare for their college entrance exams. Volunteer speakers are trained and provided with suggestions, but are encouraged to share their own experiences about their paths toward college and career.
Phone Bank Callers: Volunteers will gather at a phone bank, receive a brief training, and then call students to discuss what is required for college and to invite them to Saturday tutoring sessions. This opportunity is available monthly from September to March. Snacks are provided.
Saturday Tutors: Volunteers will work with 3-4 students grouped by their specific academic needs for college entrance exams. Study materials including individualized study plans are provided. Tutoring sessions will be offered monthly from October through April. Volunteers may indicate a specific subject to tutor. Snacks are provided.
