Become A Volunteer

Dreamers doing homework with their tutors

We welcome volunteer tutors who can commit to weekly volunteering or monthly volunteering between the hours of 8am-6pm Monday-Friday for at least 4 months. Our tutoring program primarily takes place at Burnet Street School and we are seeking tutors to read with Dreamers, practice math skills, assist Dreamers with homework, and to help lead enrichment activities during the school day and after school.  

If you are interested in tutoring or mentoring a Dreamer, please contact Lhenee Riddick to inquire about the process.
