Invest in Youth Seeks Tutors, Mentors for School Kids

It's just one hour, one child, one day per week… and a lifetime of dividends. Please consider volunteering your time to tutor with Invest in Youth!

Here's your opportunity to give back.  For one hour, just once a week on your way home from work, you can go into a nearby Seattle grade school and tutor a child who needs a little extra help with his or her studies.  Invest in Youth (www.investinyouth.org) is looking for additional tutors for the 2012-2013 school year.

Participating in Invest in Youth requires a tutoring commitment of one hour per week for the duration of the school year. Upon joining the program, you will be paired with an elementary school student in 3rd, 4th or 5th grade and work with that same student for the entire year, getting to know their strengths and weaknesses while tracking their progress from week to week. It is an extremely rewarding experience for both students and their tutors!

In 2012 we will be working with the following Seattle School District schools:

• Tuesdays, Beacon Hill International School (2025 14th Ave S.),3:15-4:15pm
• NEW! Tuesdays, Roxhill Elementary School (9430 30th Ave SW), 3:45-4:45pm
• Wednesdays, Daniel Bagley Elementary School (7821 Stone Ave. N.), 3:45-4:45pm
• Thursdays, Thurgood Marshall Elementary School (2401 S. Irving), 3:50-4:50pm (numerous Mercer Islanders tutor/have tutored here, close to I-90 bridge)

Orientation sessions for new tutors will take place the week of September 24th with tutoring beginning the week of October 1st and lasting through June 2013.
