Stamford Volunteer College Coaching Opportunity!

Save to Favorites

Let’s Get Ready (LGR) is a college access non-profit that uses a near-peer model 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 spanning from Philadelphia to Maine.

We are looking for motivated, dependable and enthusiastic students to volunteer once a week as Let’s Get Ready coaches at one of our programs.

LGR coaches work intensively with a group of 5-7 high school juniors one night a week from mid-June until August and teach either Math or Critical Reading and Writing. We provide the training, materials, and curriculum. This is a wonderful opportunity for those looking to get practical teaching experience and/or looking for a fulfilling service opportunity that makes a concrete difference in the lives of students in the surrounding community. Applicants must have scored at least a 600 in the subject that they would like to teach or have previous tutoring experience.
