Each volunteer is paired with an appropriate classroom and is directed by the teacher toward which students to help. Past volunteers have taken students to the library and listened as the children read aloud, other volunteers have spent time working in the classroom. Transportation is provided and a training session will be offered before the first visit. The program consists of reading and writing sessions with the 6th graders as well as mentoring. There is also mentoring with eighth graders.
Transportation is provided.
We go on trips with our little buddies, or sometimes just hang out. Transportation is provided, and no money is necessary for the trips. Tutoring SWAN goes to the Southwest Community Center every Tuesday and Thursday to tutor inner city children. They are ages 8-12, so they are tutored in basic subjects. Students can choose to tutor on Tuesdays or Thursdays, or both.
