To educate and empower youth through relentless commitment to student-centered learning and personal growth.
Description
The Metropolitan Regional Career and Technical Center, also known as "The Met School," is a state funded public school district that serves an estimate of 700 high school students in six small schools across three campuses in Rhode Island. (325 Public Street and 362 Peace Street in Providence and One York Street in Newport)
Our work is focused on relationships, relevance and rigor. The tools we use are real world learning, internships, individualized learning plans, a personalized environment, small school setting and advisories. We achieve our goals through strong relationships with parents, family, community, business, government and other educational institutions, thereby expanding the role of the school in the community and the community in the school.
Our school hours run from 9:00am- 3:00pm M-F and we are looking to recruit volunteers to provide tutoring support anytime during those hours. (The schedule would consist of your own flexibility and how many hours you are able to provide during the week. Ideally, we would like to have volunteers for more than 1 hour a week.)
