What do academic mentors do?

Typically, academic mentors work one-on-one or with a small group of 2-4 students for one hour per-week during the school day over the course of the school year. Select opportunities are also available to work with students online, after school, or on weekends. Student/volunteer matches are made based on your preferences of location, schedule, subject, and grade level.

With guidance from a classroom teacher, academic mentors provide students with additional academic and social-emotional support to help them thrive in the classroom and beyond. Opportunities are available in all grades (pre K-12) and all subject areas.
