Seeds 4 Success (S4S) is looking for tutors and mentors to work one-on-one with students in grades 3-12 as part of its core programming. Currently, we are looking for 16 volunteers, for there are 16 students in our program who have yet to be matched with a volunteer:
- 6 in the elementary-school program
- 5 in the middle-school program
- 3 in the high-school program
- 2 in the scholarship program
Tutors are responsible for independently scheduling and organizing weekly, one-hour study sessions with their students with the goal of helping students to develop effective study skills and to set and achieve 3 S.M.A.R.T. goals. Weekly interactions can consist of helping students with homework and/or activities in reading, concept grasping, organizational skills, goal setting, and/or self-advocacy with their educators. These weekly interactions can either be in-person or virtual via video-conferencing software.
Mentors are responsible for independently scheduling and organizing activities to do together with their students for at least six hours per month with the goal of helping students to develop positive interpersonal skills, discover new and enriching activities, and learn to enjoy learning, in addition to setting and achieving 3 S.M.A.R.T. goals. Activities can either be in-person or virtual via video-conferencing software.
