Volunteer SAT/ACT Tutor

Save to Favorites

JaxTHRIVE is a youth-led, non-profit organization with a mission to educate and inspire refugee and low income children. For this Spring 2024 opportunity, we are looking for volunteer SAT and aCT tutors/mentors to help refugee students prepare for these exams. We are located in Jacksonville, FL so we are on EST. Tutoring is flexible, but we are asking our tutors to commit to at least one hour of tutoring each week during a time that is convenient with the tutor and student. Volunteers will need to review our JaxTHRIVE training video on our website (www.jaxthrive.org) before training.

How does the program work?
Each volunteer must commit to meeting with their mentee for at least 1 hour per week for the duration of the academic year, attend a virtual orientation and training, and provide the program director with feedback throughout the term. Virtual volunteers can negotiate their own schedule if the time works with the student.

As a mentor, you will:

• Tutor your student at least once each week
• Hone your cross-cultural skills
• Expand your global network by meeting new people and making new friends
• Assume a leadership role
• Prepare for your future career by gaining valuable resume-building experience
• Make a difference in someone’s life

To participate, you must:

• volunteer for a minimum of 1 hour per week.
• be fluent in both written and spoken English.
