SAT Tutor Needed for High School Students
Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund
FUTURO is a mentoring program that supports and guides Latino high school students in their pursuit of higher education - most of them will be the first in their families to break the cycle of poverty and attend college. The program is open to first and second generation immigrants living in the City of Trenton that are in their Junior year of high school. The program mentors and tutors the students until HS graduation and follows up with an alumni network.
We currently need volunteers to prepare our students for the SAT as well as the general test-taking skills in core classes.
Tutoring is on Wednesdays evenings, 6pm-8pm at the Welcome House.
Please follow the link to our website and complete the application:
