Tutors give individual and group homework help in their subjects of expertise. Tutors sign up for 1-2 hour shifts 1 or more times per week. During these shifts the tutors make themselves available for questions, homework help, and general support. Alternatively, there will be times when there is not a need for a Tutor’s specific subject expertise, and they would need to be available on a more on-call basis. Ideal tutors will be sympathetic and able to explain subjects in different ways to accommodate different learning types.
Your efforts will have a HUGE impact on providing the support, encouragement, and a safe place to try and fail so that these young, struggling students learn and build the confidence to overcome their challenges!

Mission Statement
The mission of Cocoon House is to empower young people, families, and the community to break the cycle of homelessness through outreach, housing and prevention.
Description
Cocoon House has built, innovated and adapted programs to benefit homeless, at-risk, and disconnected young people in Snohomish County. Opening in 1991 as an 8 bed emergency shelter, Cocoon House quickly grew to include long term housing, street outreach and a nationally recognized prevention program that focuses on parents building their family management skills. These programs work together to address teen homelessness from all angles ensuring the best possible outcomes for young people as they transition into more successful futures.
Cocoon House is strongly committed to removing barriers and supporting inclusion and diversity in all its forms. We strive to create a safe and open atmosphere for young people, families, staff, board members, community partners and funders. We learn from the diverse individuals we work with and embrace their unique attributes to ensure we fulfill our agency mission and core values.
