Support our Students in our Schools as a Tutor, Helper, and Friend!

East Harlem Tutorial Program offers a variety of volunteer opportunities through our public charter schools, after-school, and summer programs. The volunteer programs range from subject-matter tutoring, providing students with homework help, mentoring, and preparing high school students for college success. Volunteers support our scholars by preparing them for academic success, encourage their social enrichment, and help them gain the confidence they will need to succeed in college and in life. Check out our volunteer opportunities at our public charter schools, East Harlem Scholars Academy, below:
