Academic learning gaps are another symptom of COVID-19... Do you want to make a difference in a child’s academic success?
The Black United Fund, in partnership with Bradley Angle’s Healing Roots program , is looking for volunteers to tutor grade-school students, with emphasis on subjects in Math, Reading, and/or Writing.
Tutors will meet with their students on a one-on-one basis at least 1-2 times or up to 2 hours per week. We ask that volunteers commit to 6 months (coinciding with the school year) in their tutor role.
Opportunities to tutor more than 1 student are available. Volunteers with backgrounds in teaching (or an applicable field) or who have a keen knowledge in current teaching methodologies for math, reading, and/or writing preferred.
If interested in volunteering as a tutor, please contact Melissa Slanetz, Volunteer Coordinator, melissa@bufor.org .More opportunities with The Black United Fund of Oregon

Mission Statement
The Black United Fund of Oregon's mission is to assist in the social and economic development of Oregon's low-income communities and to contribute to a broader understanding of ethnically and culturally diverse groups.
Description
In 1983, leaders in North and Northeast Portland, Oregon noticed that many philanthropic organizations were providing minimal support to communities of color. To combat this inequality, those same leaders started BUF-OR, to channel charitable funds to low-income areas. Our mission is accomplished through several response areas, including three Program Areas: (1) Post-Secondary Options, providing services to B IPOC youth interested in pursuing higher education, the skilled trades, or direct-to-career routes , (2) Community Justice & Equity, helping connect Black entrepreneurs and Black-owned businesses to the resources and relationships they need to thrive , and (3) Community Giving, supporting mission-aligned B IPOC and/or female-led and -serving grassroots organizations that provide vital resources for our community . BUF-OR is the longest-standing B IPOC-led and serving foundation in Oregon and one of the last culturally-specific organizations remaining on historically-Black NE Alberta Street.
