Jump Start provides volunteer tutors to work with young men who are incarcerated at the Illinois Youth Center in Chicago. The youth range in age from 13 to 21 and almost all are behind in reading and/or math. Most volunteers work with one youth at a time for approximately 1 to 2 hours per week, though some may choose to do more. Teaching experience is not required and training and resources are provided. All tutoring is done in a supervised setting.
Volunteers are required to show proof of COVID vaccination. Mandatory testing is provided weekly. Masking is required at all times and temperatures are taken upon entry to the facility.
Tutoring hours are Monday through Friday, 9am to 3pm. Tutors must be 21 years of age.
