Tutors for unstably housed students

Save to Favorites

Homeless Children's Education Fund (HCEF) is seeking volunteers with experience working with K-8th grade children to assist with our Mobile Learning Program. HCEF's Mobile Learning is an innovative new program that brings regular, individualized tutoring sessions directly to unstably housed students at their current place of residence. This is a great opportunity to build kids' strengths and confidence by helping our instructors deliver a variety of fun, creative educational activities.

Volunteers will travel to meet HCEF instructors at a place accessible to an enrolled K-8th grade student, then help instructors teach fun, individualized lessons. We need volunteers who can regularly commit to at least one 1-2 hour session per week. Session start and end times will vary based on family schedules, but all will begin after school hours (3:30 PM and later)

Session locations are based on accessibility to the student and their parent/caregiver -- some will be on front porches, in families' living rooms, or at a nearby public space like a park or library. Volunteers must be comfortable as guests in spaces that may be unfamiliar to them at first and will need to be able to travel to sessions on their own. If interested, please email Brian at bknight@homelessfund.org to set up an initial screening meeting.
