Are you an outgoing professional that could help tutor students in one or more of the following subjects: Science, Math, History, Geography, English
We are looking for a couple of volunteers to tutor students and keep them focused when doing work.
Tutors are needed Tuesdays and Thursday from 3-4 pm.
Colorado Youth for a Change (CYC) is seeking volunteers to support students at an after-school program at Centaurus High School. Our volunteer tutors have an excellent opportunity impact our mission of solving Colorado’s dropout crisis by providing direct support to students who need extra time and attention to succeed in their classes and stay on track for graduation. Volunteers will provide help with homework, general academic problem solving, prioritizing tasks, and reinforcing time-management/study skills. We are seeking volunteers who are comfortable not waiting for students to ask for help, but talking with them to figure out what they can help with, feel comfortable working with a diverse adolescent population, who want to help make school and course material feel relevant and accessible for students who may have become disengaged from education, and who can act as a positive adult role model.

Mission Statement
The mission of Colorado Youth for a Change (CYC) is to solve Colorado’s dropout crisis.
Description
Founded in 2005 in response to over 18,000 youth dropping out of Colorado schools each year, CYC works each and every day to solve the dropout crisis. We partner with school districts across the state supporting 1000's of struggling students each year.
Large bodies of research show that the lack of a high school diploma or GED considerably lowers a person’s employability and economic security throughout their lifetime and results in poorer overall health, unstable housing conditions, increased exposure to violence, and higher rates of poverty. In addition, data shows that one person who drops out will cost taxpayers $292,000 over their lifetime. Because even one student who drops out is too many, we are committed to improving the dropout rate through thoughtful community partnerships, dropout outreach & reengagement programs, expansion of school options and educational intervention programs.
