Foster Learning - Give back to the community - Join a great new team

The Phipps Volunteer Tutoring Project is an innovative volunteer tutoring program for residents of the South Bronx. Share your expertise with youth and adults from low-income communities who are eager to achieve their academic goals and move their lives ahead.

We are looking for students, professionals, and residents in the New York metro area to lead weekly tutoring sessions to provide homework help for junior high and high school students, and support adults enrolled in our ESL and GED programs.

We are currently recruiting volunteers to begin in the spring semester but this is an ongoing opportunity.

Program Structure:

• A unique, small-session environment where tutors work individually with students, and collaborate as a team to provide an enriching experience for all participants.
• Sessions are held once a week at set times for each tutoring site, including Monday-Friday afternoon and Wednesday evening, and Saturday afternoon.
• Tutors are matched with 2-3 students, based on academic strength/area of specialty.
