Urgently Needed: Volunteer Tutors for Migrant Youth in Concord/Manchester/Nashua

Save to Favorites

The New Hampshire Migrant Education Program is looking for volunteer tutors to serve the children of migrant workers throughout the state of New Hampshire, and especially in Manchester and Concord.

Our students are between the ages of 3 and 21 and come from a variety of countries, including the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya and Rwanda. Tutors work one-on-one with students, helping with homework as well as improving their English language, reading, and math skills.

Do you have a passion for educating and empowering disadvantaged youth? Do you want to improve in a second language and gain cross-cultural fluency? With unequal resources and other obstacles in their paths, migrant youth are liable to fall through the cracks of the educational system.

Volunteer tutors can make a huge impact on the lives of migrant workers and their children living in New Hampshire, giving them the tools and confidence they need to succeed at the same rate as their peers. Gain valuable experience as an educator and know that you are making a difference in children’s lives!

Most of our students are located in Concord, Manchester, or Nashua. The majority of our tutoring takes place in person, in students' homes. However, virtual tutoring is a possibility for some students. If you are interested in tutoring in person in the Concord, Manchester, or Nashua area, or tutoring virtually, we want to hear from you!

Requirements:

• Cultural sensitivity
• English fluency
• 1-2 hours per week

Suggested Qualifications:

• Some College
• Tutoring or teaching experience
• Volunteer experience
• Conversational Spanish (for some placements)
