Description

If you enjoy tutoring and mentoring and want to impact a young person's life, join us at Hana Mission's Afterschool Program! Hana Mission is a Christian-based, holistic ministry dedicated to transforming lives in our inner-city community. The goals of our afterschool program are to provide local children grades 1-5 with homework tutoring, fun activities and a safe, positive environment. We are looking for more volunteers so we can provide more personal mentoring for each child. *High school seniors can build up their college applications while helping to make a difference in a child's life. Job details: -Tutor 1-2 kids at a time on homework and supplemental exercises to improve their weak areas. -Assist children's participation in games, crafts or activities. -Build relationships with children and model healthy social interaction. Time commitment: 2 hours per weekday. Daily availability is preferred, but consistency is much more important for the children, even if only one specific day per week. Commitment length: Present ~ June 2009 (duration of school year). A commitment for the whole year would be ideal.

Requirements

-Age: High school seniors and up -Patient and enjoys working with children. -Ability to tutor at grade levels 1-5, primarily English/Language Arts, Reading and Math. -Experience with tutoring or working with urban children a plus. -Willing to submit to background check and provide references.
