Did you spend countless hours asking your parents to explain a question or a problem you were having when you were a student? Many refugee students have parents who are trying to learn English themselves, so it is difficult to assist and help with their child's schoolwork. Make a difference in the life of a newly arrived refugee family by volunteering to tutor. Tutors will work in small groups of refugee students (2-3) to help with homework, assist with studying and practice English. Empower families by giving 2 hours a week to support children who are adjusting and learning in a new country! Our academic mentoring session will be held at the Indian Creek Elementary in Clarkston beginning in January through the end of the school semester in May.
Volunteers must attend a mandatory orientation, either January 31st or Feb 2nd and receive an additional three hour training on child abuse.
