Volunteer: Volunteer Tutors Needed for Children in Foster CareHello CHAP Students, Below is a worthy service opportunity for CHAP students and organizations to volunteer and help children in foster care! WHIT is a non-profit that provides free tutoring to foster children. WHIT is needing 25 tutors ASAP to support 25 foster students with tutoring for 1 hour/week, until the end of school, with the option of tutoring through the summer as well! We know many students go home when the semester ends, but tutoring can also be done virtually. One hour a week can make a world of difference to these young kids who deserve to have an ally in their education. CHAP students can be that ally! ***You must be 18 or older to volunteer***** WHAT DO TUTORING SESSIONS LOOK LIKE: Tutoring sessions occur weekly for one hour and can take place in person or virtually, depending on where the child is placed. Face-to-face tutoring sessions can only take place at the public or University library in the town where the child is placed. Virtual sessions take place via the Zoom or Teams platform in a very engaging one child/one tutor setting. STEPS TO BECOMING A WHIT TUTOR FOR CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE: 1.
