After-School and Evening Tutoring

826 Boston is a nonprofit writing, tutoring, and publishing organization where students grades K-12 and beyond can share their stories, amplify their voices, and develop as leaders in school and in life. We invite you to join our community of more than 750 writing coaches, tutors, mentors, storytellers, editors, illustrators, and more!

826 Boston hosts After-School Tutoring at our center in Roxbury for students in grades 1 - 12, Mondays through Thursdays from 4:15 PM - 6:15 PM.

We host Evening Tutoring at our center in Roxbury for grades 6 - 12, from 6:15 PM - 8:15 PM, Mondays and Wednesdays.

Tutors participate in a fifteen minute pre-brief with an 826 Boston team member, who will answer any questions and conduct a mini training on a relevant topic. For the first half, tutors will be matched with one or two students who have homework in subject(s) the tutor is comfortable with. For the second half, students are encouraged to work on creative projects, read, continue doing homework, or participate in any other enrichment activities around the space. To close out the session, an 826 team member will lead a debrief where tutors can share successes, challenges, and tips before leaving with next steps.

We encourage tutors of all backgrounds to apply, and we especially seek volunteers who identify as Black, Indigenous, Hispanic, Latinx, LGBTQ+, and/or multi-lingual so that our volunteers are more representative of the students we serve.

If you are interested, please send an email to volunteer@826boston.org. We will be in touch with next steps.
