Volunteer with a group of 11 to 14 year old middle school students in the subjects of math and reading during school days from 2:00pm-3:45pm. We are looking for high energy volunteers that are interested and passionate about working with our youth and who understand the challenges that these individuals face. We, along with the school have implemented a unique opportunity where our volunteers are assisting teachers in classroom settings during school hours in order to reach the demographic we are targeting in a controlled environment. Services include assisting the professors to ensure that students are prepared and focused on their school work, material comprehension and to best prepare these children for testing on their subject matter in order for them to continue their scholastics for their appreciate grade level. This will ensure that these students will be best prepared for when they reach high school. We ask that volunteers enter into a consistent commitment, at least once a week for the duration of the school year, in order to building a rapport and relationship with those students as well as the professors in order to maximize the services available to them.

About The Home Team - Miami
Location:
5965 SW 49th St, Miami, FL 33155, US
Mission Statement
THE HOME TEAM is a collection of academic and sports leaders who work together with at-risk youth in Miami-Dade County using the life skills of athletics to advance young athletes on the field, in the classroom and within their community to prepare them for college and beyond.
Description
Our current participants are 6-12th graders in the Coconut Grove, South Miami and Overtown communities.
This past academic year, we created an after school study hall/tutoring program at Ponce De Leon Middle School and Coral Gables Senior High School. In addition we provided one-on-one tutoring to high school students at New World School of the Arts who are residents of the Coconut Grove Community. These tutoring sessions took place on the University of Miami campus.
Our program rewards our student participants based upon their commitment to the program through attendance and participation, and by their academic improvement. Rewards currently include snacks or meals during our study hall/tutoring program, educational field trips, special guest speakers, and year end prizes. We also provided sponsorships to local youth sports leagues, camps and clinics with The Home Team covering all registration fees and associated costs.
