Volunteers will work one-on-one or in small groups with students during school or after school in a tutoring and mentoring program.

- Engage in discussion groups with high school students
Volunteers must be fluent in English, complete training for the program, and pass a criminal background check in order to participate. Volunteers commit to attending once per week for the duration of the 2018-2019 school year, as the students thrive only with consistency.
