Organization Information

Mission Statement

As part of a national program, the Philadelphia Job Corp Life Science Institute mission is to provide education, career skill training, and job placement to Philadelphia youth, ages 17-24.

Description

Come join the STARS team as we work to provide support to our students in their academic and career training courses!

Our students benefit from working with committed tutors and mentors. Just 2 hours a week can make the difference between success and failure!

If you're interested, please contact me for an interview. We need tutors that can commit to a regular schedule (2 hours a week) and who enjoy working with youth.

If you're seeking a rewarding volunteer experience, join the STARS team today!

I would definitely recommend STARS to any one interested in volunteering in their community. My experience tutoring there has been amazing. The Job Corps staff is welcoming and supportive. The students have been receptive to my assistance and show great appreciation and respect. I began tutoring as a chance to share with others the positive experiences that I had during my education and because I believe in the impact volunteering has on our community. I did not realize how much I would also gain personally. Overall, the experience has exceeded my expectations.

I began tutoring for this organization in January. STARS appealed to me because of my passion for volunteering and teaching. I had an amazing time helping students with math, as well as being a positive role model. I have always walked out feeling like I have helped someone. Mr. Martin, who heads the tutoring program, is extremely helpful and understanding. I would recommend this program to anyone that has some extra time to help some of the young individuals part of the Job Corp. The hours are very flexible and Mr. Martin is always willing to work with your schedule!
