TUTORS NEEDED!
Schools of Hope is the Madison area’s most sustained effort in
eliminating the achievement gap amongst middle school students. As a program
that functions primarily on volunteer support, we are presently seeking
volunteers who would be willing to spend one hour a week with a student,
between the hours of 7:45 AM and 3:45 PM, tutoring in math and basic literacy.
Although it is only one hour out of your week, it is an hour that the
students can look forward to for the extra support they need to succeed.
Schools of Hope is still actively recruiting to fill at least 80 regular
volunteer tutors for Toki Middle School. This tutoring program has already
begun, with members of the community, including UW-Madison students, coming
to help out with our after-school Homework Clubs as well as tutor kids
during their Study Skills period. So that you as a volunteer do not feel
overwhelmed, you will be connected with one of two Schools of Hope employees
who work full-time at Toki. They will give you all the training you need,
including your very own tutoring handbook that provides tips to helping
motivate reluctant learners.
Please, take some time to consider volunteering as a tutor this school
year. The benefits are endless: contributing to the Madison youth community,
providing leadership and guidance to students who often lack the direction
from home, encouraging post-secondary education or other vocational training,
showing the value of hard work, etc. Who knows, you’ll probably
make a new friend and have a whole lot of fun in the process!
For more information about how you can get involved with a student, contact
Beth Wraalstad (MSCR-Toki Coordinator) at 204-4778 or via email at bwraalstad@madison.k12.wi.us. |
