Volunteer: Support Springfield Elementary School Kids! Be a Tutor!Action Centered Tutoring Services (ACTS) is seeking volunteer tutors, aged 16 and up, who would like to support the academic, as well as social-emotional learning, of Springfield Elementary students! For high school and college students, this is an excellent (and fun!) way to meet any community service requirements for clubs, honor societies or capstone projects! Training and support is provided to our tutors, in the form of training sessions and on-site help from the Site Director. Our tutors work one-on-one with an assigned student to complete homework assignments, strengthen skills in math, reading and writing, and also serve as mentors to their student. The last half-hour of each tutoring session includes "Club Time", where students and tutors participate in games, crafts, reading, and discussions designed to bolster self-esteem, teach empathy, and encourage connection to their community. To apply to be a tutor, please complete the Volunteer Application and the CORI form (if 18 or older). Please note that you must commit to once a week, for a minimum of 1/2 of the school year, and be able to provide your own transportation to/from the program location. Tutoring sessions are not held during school vacations or in the event of school closures (e.g., snow days).
