Thank you for your interest in becoming a SOH volunteer tutor for the 2024-25 school year. Please look over the following information before filling out your application.
School info
- Schools of Hope will provide support at Wadewitz and our three community schools: Knapp, Julian Thomas and the Academies of Racine Mitchell (AoR Mitchell). Please check the links below for locations and driving times.
- All four schools have a need for English speaking tutors. In addition, AoR Mitchell and Julian Thomas have a need for bilingual English/Spanish speaking volunteers to tutor students in the dual language program.
Scheduling
- You will not select your specific tutoring location or time slots at this time. Once the intervention blocks for each school are provided, you will receive a link to a separate form to select the school, day and time that works best for you. We will then match your availability with a student that has been chosen to participate.
- Tutoring will begin the week of October 28, 2024, and end May 9, 2025.
- Tutor teams can be formed to make the weekly commitment easier. Up to two volunteers can share the same volunteer assignment. Volunteers are responsible for scheduling and ensuring that someone is present for the assigned session. If you are volunteering as a team, each person is required to fill out the volunteer application. Please signal in your application that you are volunteering as part of a tutor team and list the other volunteer in the designated spot.
