Join our team in supporting the academic success of East African immigrant and refugee youth! We assist students in grades K-12th in improving their academic skills, and we support low-income immigrant and refugee families in helping their children succeed in school. Not only will you get the opportunity to mentor students, be a role model, and teach good study habits, you will also have the opportunity to work in a multi-lingual, multi-cultural nonprofit organization offering support and advocacy services to East African refugees and immigrants.
You will work with a team of tutors to instruct students one-on-one and in small groups. Your goals and responsibilities will be to:
- Tutor students and help them improve their academic skills from week to week
- Mentor and empower students
- Write brief student reports at the end of each tutoring session
Through collaborating with East African tutors and students, you would have the opportunity to experience and learn about East African cultures, refugee issues, and tutoring best practices. To make the most of this experience both for the students you will serve and for yourself, your commitment and enthusiasm will be essential.
