    Tutor a Grade School Student at Summit

    You can change the world . . . for one child!

    We are looking for volunteers who would like to tutor and mentor an inner-city grade school student for 2 hours per week in a structured tutoring program. Our students are in 4th-7th grade.

    Volunteers would be matched with the same student each week, and work on academic weaknesses such as reading and math.

    Volunteers meet at Summit to:

    1. Tutor for 1 hour
    2. Attend a brief 5-10 min. character talk with the student on a virtue like honesty, friendship, etc.
    3. Play sports or other fun activities (optional) for 45 min.
    4. A brief meeting with the group leader
    5. Meet monthly for a few minutes with the parents of the student.

    Days and Times:

    Women:

    Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday evenings (5-7pm) or Sat (10am-12pm) at Kosciusko Community Center (2201 South 7th Street)

    Men:
