Volunteer Description: AVID-Advancement Via Individual Determination-fosters a safe and open culture, high expectations for teachers and students, and collaboration in all classrooms. Tutoring in AVID is different from any volunteer position you have held before. Many AVID students are first in their family to attend college and want to achieve big dreams! AVID students need role models and mentors to support their dream of college. AVID tutors assist students to achieve their full potential by facilitating collaborative tutorial groups that use critical thinking skills, practicing public speaking, utilizing multiple resources (print and electronic), asking high level questions, taking Cornell notes, analyzing the process of each question, and writing reflections about their learning. Small group tutorial sessions are held twice a week (Tuesday & Thursday), volunteers choose which day and time during the days they would like.
