Learning Partners/Tutors are school-based, academic-focused mentors assigned to a program site for one semester or longer. They are assigned to work with youth at least one day a week; elementary and middle school assignments are typically after school from approximately 3-6 pm during the fall and spring semesters. Summer semester hours vary between 10 am and 3 pm.
Volunteers who are assigned to high school cohorts for 3 hour increments between 10 am and 3 pm (Boulder sites) and from 3:30-6 pm (Longmont and Carbon Valley/Frederick sites) during the fall and spring semesters. Summer semester focuses primarily on credit recovery from 10 am-3 pm.
Learning Partners/Tutors support a cohort of students under the direct supervision of the Program Director and their team with academic tutoring and SEL (social-emotional learning). The Program Director can ask Learning Partners/Tutors to provide one-on-one support to an assigned student, or a small group of students, if/when they feel the volunteer is ready. Depending on the program site and students’ needs, support is provided virtual/online and/or hybrid. All volunteers are expected to act as positive and stable role models for Dreamer Scholars.
Program sites are located in the cities of Boulder, Lafayette, Longmont, and Carbon Valley/Frederick.
