Become a tutor, mentor and role model.
Tutoring Chicago is a free one-to-one tutoring program for students in grades 1-12.
We are looking for volunteers for our 2025-2026 school year. Tutoring Chicago will offer both in-person and digital tutoring options to our tutors/students from late September to late May.
Volunteers work one-to-one with a 1st-12th grade student on a weekly basis during the school year. Tutors and mentors will focus on academic support, mentorship activities, social-emotional learning, and the importance of accountability. Volunteers share which program, grade level, evening, method and location they prefer.
No prior experience or special skills are necessary. Orientation and training are provided to all volunteers. One matched, volunteers have access to our library of tools, materials and resources to effective support their student. In-person and digital sessions are held on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings from 6-7:30PM (CST). Life Changing role models needed. Make a difference in a student's life today!
No special skills, no experience or background in education is necessary. Above all the willingness to be there and the desire to impact, inspire and empower a student. Being present is all it takes. One and a half hours per week is enough to change a kid's life.
