UPrising
Make a difference! Little Village is one of the youngest neighborhoods in Chicago; almost half of the residents are under the age of 25, creating a great need for youth programming. UPrising is a youth-led academic and cultural enrichment program focused on improving graduation rates in Little Village. We are looking for volunteers to assist with our afterschool programming Monday through Friday by providing homework help and facilitating activities such as art and sports from 3 PM-6 PM. By providing support for the developmental and academic needs of our youth, we empower them to transform themselves, their community, and, ultimately, the world.
We expect from our Uprising tutors to:
-commit to at least 2 hours a week
-be on time and ready to tutor
-be comfortable and appropriate interacting with youth
-authorize and undergo a background check through the Department of Children and Family Services
-be creative and engaging, patient and respectful
-be conscious of the needs of the Latino community
