    High School Curriculum Tutor in Detention Center

    Since A Turning Point Academy expanded into the Platte County Detention Center we have had amazing success! Being a Tutor with our Academy program means that you love to help! Our Academy program helps adults get their High School Diploma. It is an alternative program to the High-set and GED where a diploma is the end result. Unlike other programs in the Kansas City area, this one is of no cost to the students. No educational background required to be a tutor but we do require an encouraging demeanor and willingness to help. Platte county requires a background check and PREA training before being able to signup to be a tutor in the Detention Center. Age restrictions also apply due to sensitive nature of this volunteer opportunity. We would recommend that you come and sit in on a regular Academy session and see if it's for you, ask all the questions you'd like, and stay for the company!

    Regular Academy hours are Tuesday 5pm-7pm, Wednesday 10am-2pm, 5pm-7pm, Thursday 10am-2pm

    ATP Academy is located at 1900 NE Englewood Rd, Gladstone, MO 64118

    Detention Center hours are Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursday 1pm-3pm

    1 shift available:

    • Mondays and Thursdays: 13:00 to 15:00 CST
