Skilled in a favorite school subject? Have extra time on your hands? Then apply as a tutor volunteer for Project Healthy Minds! With virtual classrooms having rough impacts on many students across the nation, youth are struggling to keep up with heavy course loads and advance in their academics. Creating Healthy Scholars focuses in particular on students at underrepresented communities and schools who may not have access to private tutoring or extra support from their teachers.

As a tutor, you will provide assistance with homework problems, test readiness, and more in any subject you’re proficient in, corresponding with the needs of high school students. You will have the flexibility to work out a convenient schedule that fits both you and your mentee. Tutoring will take place on Zoom, Google Meet, or any other web chat platform decided between you and your student.

This position is especially great for aspiring teachers; not only is it a great resume-booster, but you will get true hands-on experience from a tutor standpoint and foster your teaching and communication skills! It is also great for anyone who enjoys working with teens, is passionate about education, or simply hopes to make a difference.
