SBU provides after school tutoring for 6th through 9th graders Monday through Thursday from 4:00-6:00. This tutoring is provided by volunteer tutors. I was wondering if any of your students would be interested in volunteering with us.
This is a great opportunity for the right student(s) to do something they love and are good at while making a real difference in someone else’s life. They will also gain real world experience that will look good on their resumes or graduate school applications.
