Welcome to our team!
For in-person & online teachers & substitutes - All new volunteer teachers and tutors must complete a self-paced online training that takes approximately 17 hours prior to attending the in-person training sessions. We expect a commitment of teaching at least 16 weeks of classes within a year of completing the Teacher Training Workshop.
**If you are interested in volunteering outside of teaching or tutoring, there will be a 90 minute orientation and FERPA training requirement.
If you are interested in volunteering but these options do not work for you, feel free to contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Kayla, at [email protected].
