Let’s Get Ready (LGR) is a FREE college prep program that empowers college students to provide free SAT tutoring and college application assistance to students of lower income backgrounds, helping them to attain their dream of attending college. LGR mobilizes and trains college student volunteers to be the "Coaches," mentors, and role-models who provide both SAT instruction and college admissions guidance, as well as the encouragement and inspiration that students need to succeed. To date, LGR has served over 10,000 students at sites from Philadelphia to Maine and this Spring we will be working with students throughout New York City.
We are looking for motivated, dependable and enthusiastic volunteers to join our New York City Programs.
- Coaches: LGR coaches work intensively with a group of 5-7 high school juniors one night a week from February through the first week of May and teach either Math or Critical Reading and Writing content. We provide the training, materials, and curriculum. This is a wonderful opportunity for volunteers looking to get practical teaching experience and a fulfilling service opportunity that makes a concrete difference in the lives of our students. Coaches must have scores a 600 in the subject that they would like to coach - math or verbal.
