We are looking for academic tutors, as well as squash interns in Newark!
StreetSquash-Newark is an academic and athletic after-school program serving students in 7th-8th grade. We are looking for intern tutors and intern squash players for all weekdays.
- Tutors: StreetSquash Newark Academic Tutors work with 1-2 students during after-school homework sessions. Our tutors assist 8th through 9th-grade students with math, English, History and Science homework. These sessions occur from 3:45-5:50pm every Monday through Friday at the Newark, YMCA. We are also located at Montclair YMCA Monday through Friday 3:45-5:50pm.
- Squash Instructor: StreetSquash Newark Volunteer/Intern Squash Players join StreetSquash students on the courts for basic drills, training, and games. Squash players of all levels are needed for our practice from 3:45-5:50pm every Monday through Friday at the Newark YMCA.
The best thing about becoming a StreetSquash volunteer/intern is meeting great young people and making a difference in their lives - whether you can make it once a week or once in awhile, we encourage you to get involved. Please contact us with your interest and availability to tutor in our academic sessions, or to assist with Squash practices!
