Tutor a Refugee Student

Want to help refugee students succeed in school? Since 1982, RefugeeOne has welcomed over 22,000 refugees and newcomers from all over the world to Chicago - and we need your support to help refugee youth thrive!

Volunteers in our In-Home Youth Tutoring program will be matched 1:1 with a recently arrived school-aged youth (5-14) to serve as a friend and role model. Tutors meet refugee students in their homes to:

• Provide academic tutoring
• Practice English
• Encourage healthy school habits
• Provide social support as they navigate life and school in Chicago
• Share culture and hobbies
• ...and more!

Requirements: Minimum commitment of weekly meetings for 6 months in client home. Both weekends & weekdays available, flexible scheduling to match your availability. No additional languages skills required.
