El Buen Samaritano’s Tutoring Program provides tutoring and supplemental education services to students of ages 6 to 12 at various skill levels. The goal of our youth programs is to spark a continued interest in learning, and to give children the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the classroom.
At El Buen Samaritano, we are looking for warm and caring volunteer tutors who will tailor individualized learning plans that build the skills, habits and attitudes students need to succeed in school and in life. You will be trained and equipped to offer instruction in math, writing, study skills, homework help, test prep or reading comprehension.
Schedule:
Youth Tutoring: Monday to Thursday 4 - 6 PM
Evening Enrichment: Monday to Thursday 6:30pm-8:30pm
Youth program volunteers commit to one day a week for a full semester (spring, summer, fall)

Mission Statement
El Buen Samaritano, an outreach ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas serving the Latino community of Central Texas, is committed to recognizing the dignity of all by ensuring access to healthcare, education and essential needs that lead to healthy, productive and secure lives.
Description
Since its inception, El Buen has been at the forefront of responding to the many social-environmental factors leading to lack of access to health care, social services, education, and nutrition. Over time, El Buen has adapted to meet the community needs that come with population growth, immigration, and economic fluctuations.
This adaptation to change has led to our comprehensive strategy of becoming a "one stop shop" to address the needs of the Latino and Spanish-speaking community in Travis County and surrounding areas. Through our Family and Health Literacy programming, El Buen provides education (ESL, Digital Literacy, Adult Basic Education and High School Equivalency in Spanish), workforce development, child and adolescent development (parenting and school-readiness, after school tutoring, and summer camp), health literacy (access to health services, chronic disease management classes and screenings), a year-round, no-cost food pantry, and a community garden where clients can grow their own healthy food. These services are provided by bilingual bicultural staff that includes community health workers (CHWs), volunteers, and health and social services practitioners
