Tutor for AP Bio in Enumclaw
ORGANIZATION: Treehouse
Please visit the new page to apply.
Do you have a passion for motivating and inspiring young people? Treehouse’s goal is for youth in foster care in King County to graduate at the same rate as their peers with a plan for their future by 2017. We need the teaching skills and dedication of volunteers who are at least 18 to achieve this goal by providing tutoring, homework help, credit recovery support, senior project help, and other academic services for students in middle school and high school.
We currently have a motivated high school student in Enumclaw who is looking for an AP Biology tutor. We are looking for a volunteer who is available to meet once a week on Mondays, Tuesdays, or Thursdays between 3:30--5pm.
We ask that volunteers commit to the duration of the current school year, at a minimum. All volunteers must pass a background check before they begin working with youth.

Mission Statement
Giving Foster Kids a Childhood and a Future We envision - and strive to create - a world where every child that has experienced foster care has the opportunities and support they need to pursue their dreams and become productive members of our community.
Description
Each morning, nearly 10,000 children in foster care in Washington State wake up to unfamiliar surroundings.
In foster care, they are safe from physical harm and dangerous neglect, but they are far from out of the woods socially, emotionally and academically. Trauma and loss, changes in homes and schools, and emotional upheaval cause them to perform worse than their peers on every academic measure.
Treehouse is taking on these challenges with fierce optimism by providing youth in foster care with access to the services they equally deserve to be successful in school and in life.
Treehouse is dedicated to closing the achievement gap between youth in foster care and their peers forever.By providing our students with the academic and other essential support that all kids need to succeed, we’ve watched them become more self-determined and invested in their education than ever before. And despite the challenges our students face in foster care, their graduation rates are on the rise.
