Who are we?
We are a nonprofit serving a unique public high school serving older at-risk students
ages 17-21. Our students are motivated but saddled with adult
responsibilities that make achieving a high school diploma before
they turn 21 very challenging. They need our help and yours.
How you can help?
Give Time & Expertise
The greatest need is for volunteers who have an interest
in tutoring since two-thirds
of our students are immigrants from over 40 countries who
are trying to learn English. Others simply need assistance with
general subjects like math, history and science.
Standardized test and SAT preparation help is also needed.
Aside from tutoring, opportunities to sit on volunteer committees
for fundraising and event planning exist in addition to mentoring -
which can include activities such as helping students apply to
college or prepare for the working world.
Qualifications:
- A
desire to help young adults.
- No
prior tutoring experience necessary.
- Tutoring
tips and training available as we partner with Learning Leaders, an organization that is dedicated
to training volunteers.
