Description: Make a lasting difference in a child’s life!

Join the Muindi Foundation’s Learn Now program as a volunteer tutor and help under-resourced elementary and junior high students (1st-8th grade) strengthen their skills in language arts and mathematics.

What You’ll Do:

• Provide one-on-one or small-group tutoring
• Support students in reading comprehension, writing, and foundational math
• Create a safe, welcoming, and positive learning environment

Time Commitment:

We ask volunteers to commit to at least two afternoons per week (3:00-5:30 PM) for a minimum of 10 weeks. This strikes a great balance between volunteer availability and student consistency, which is vital for academic growth and building trust.

Qualifications:

• Passion for education, equity, and student success

• Must pass a background check
• University Students in good standing (GPA 3.0+)
