Young students in Providence need HELP, and Inspiring Minds can help you decide how to make adifference! We are a 50+ year- old educational non-profit looking for volunteers to become tutors and confidence-builders.
Our opportunities include in-school tutoring with students grades K through 5th grade.We are currently in great need of volunteers who can commit to at least one hour a week. No previous teaching or tutoring experience is required, and training is provided.
Individuals who are bilingual Spanish speakers are encouraged to apply.
What do volunteers do: Volunteers enter the classroom once a week and visit the same children each time. The teacher will provide the volunteer with set activities to practice with the students in order to grow their skills to be proficient. Volunteers may also be asked to float the whole classrooms keeping students on task or help with specific one-day skills (like logging onto the computer). Volunteers bring time, attention, care, and love to our students which helps them succeed!

Description
Inspiring Minds is an antiracist organization committed to closing equity gaps based on race, ethnicity, first language, and economic status that impact RI students and families. The organization was founded as Lippitt Hill Tutorial in1963 to provide academic support for children in two segregated elementary schools. Since then, the organization has grown into a citywide service and, in 1988, became Volunteers in Providence Schools to reflect its citywide approach to addressing academic inequities. Finally, the name Inspiring Minds was adopted in 2008 as the programs and scope of work expanded beyond Providence City's borders. Join us as we aim for programming in schools across the state!
