Make a Difference as a Volunteer

Explore opportunities to support our students and sign up for a volunteer orientation.

  • VOLUNTEER TUTORS

    Volunteer tutors work with assigned students to support learning across our programs and elective classes.

    We provide training, curriculum, and instructional tools to help you succeed. Tutors stay connected with the Program Team and share updates on student progress. Ongoing training is offered throughout the year, and volunteers are asked to participate regularly to continue building their skills.

    Tutors are asked to teach twice per week for at least one hour per class during the academic year (September–May). Classes may be held in person or online.

  • OFFICE VOLUNTEERS

    Office volunteers support staff and tutors with daily operations and student services. This includes helping with enrollment, answering questions, and preparing materials.

    We provide training and ongoing support throughout the year to help you feel confident in your role. Volunteers are asked to participate in training sessions to stay up to date.

    Sample tasks include:

    • Greeting students and visitors

    • Helping direct students to classrooms

    • Assisting with check-in and building flow

    • Proctoring assessments

    • Copying, filing, and data entry

  • EVENT VOLUNTEERS

    Event volunteers support the planning and execution of our special events throughout the year, including Open House, The Great Grown Up Spelling Bee, Holidays Around the World, and Reading Between the Wines.

    Volunteers may assist with planning, outreach, sponsorships, registration, and event-day logistics.

  • LEADERSHIP VOLUNTEERS

    Leadership volunteers serve on our Board of Directors or support committees and event leadership.

    These roles help guide our programs and support our mission through planning, advocacy, and community engagement. Training and orientation are provided to support your success.

    Board members serve three-year terms (renewable), while officer roles are one-year terms. Committee and event leadership roles may vary in length.
