Tutor a child!

Save to Favorites

The Carnegie Center is currently recruiting volunteer tutors for the one-on-one tutoring program for Fall 2022. Tutoring requires a one-hour-a-week commitment and hours are flexible. Tutors may select their schedule.

Learn, play, and make a difference in a child's life! Tutor matches are more important than ever- children have had limited access to learning and social interactions over the last 2 years. Tutoring helps a child re-build their confidence in learning and builds social skills which are crucial for success and overall well-being.

All tutors must be 16 years of age or older, if over 18 the volunteer must pass a background check. Orientations and trainings are available and every active tutor gets to take a free class at the Carnegie Center!

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

• Tutors must be at least 16 years of age or older, and complete two background checks at no cost, one for Carnegie Center and one for the school.
• Tutors are recruited on a rolling basis and are encouraged to stay with the same child for the duration of the school year for maximum impact.
• Tutors are required to participate in an orientation where they will learn more about the program and best practices for tutoring.
• The program relies on enthusiastic volunteer tutors who enjoy teaching and interacting with children. Tutors meet with the same child once a week for one hour.
• Tutors are encouraged to communicate with the child’s parent/guardian to best tailor the sessions and report progress.
