Volunteer Opportunities
Afterschool Tutoring Program
We accept volunteers on an on-going basis for our academic Tutoring Program.
The Tutoring Program is an important aspect of our educational coordination services. It is an after-school session that utilizes volunteer tutors and targets Achievers who are in-need of literacy support and homework help. The program reinforces our intensive youth advocacy and the work that our dedicated staff does on a daily basis. We aim to get as many resources as possible around each child in order to improve overall reading level and academic performance.
To learn more about becoming a volunteer tutor, please email our Program Director, Kareem Wright: kwright@friendsofthechildrenny.org.
