We Teach Science (WTS), an education nonprofit, is looking for dedicated volunteer mentors to be a part of its remote math focused tutoring and mentoring program. Mentors can volunteer and have a significant impact on the lives of their mentees - all from the comfort of their own office, via a web-based interactive whiteboard. Mentoring takes place for 1 hour a week over the duration of the school year.
Why volunteer?
- No travel required, volunteer from the comfort of your own desk -- WTS mentors live in 33 states across the United States
- WTS students represent a diverse community not currently represented in STEM fields, and WTS helps build a pipeline of talent to become future leaders
- WTS provides ongoing training and support to ensure mentor's effectiveness in tutoring/mentoring
- The WTS program is effective: an average of 1.5-2 classroom sessions would be needed to match the amount of growth that students receive in just one WTS tutoring session.
There are currently 100's of middle and high school students in dire need of a mentor or they risk failing their core math curriculum without intervention. You can make a very positive impact on this group - your support is needed!
