Join us in providing essential one-on-one tutoring to the children of refugee and immigrant families in the Vickery Meadow neighborhood of Dallas. Our diverse student population at McShan and Jill Stone Elementary Schools in Dallas ISD come from at least 15 countries and speak over 30 languages and dialects. Most of our students are Emergent Bilinguals. We offer a structured reading intervention program to support their reading and language acquisition skills. We need committed volunteers who can dedicate at least 1 hour per week to tutoring a student during the school day. Whether you're a professional, retiree, student, or community member, your passion for literacy and equitable opportunity can make a significant impact. You make a September to May commitment to your student, working with the same child each week and monitoring his or her progress and emotional wellbeing.
Volunteer Roles
o One-on-one tutoring: Support students in developing their phonics, reading, and English acquisition skills. Build positive relationships and boost student self-confidence.
o Co-Tutoring: If you'd like some more balance, pair with a partner to tutor a small group of students or one student together. (please note this interest in your application).
Available Tutoring Times During the School Day, Monday through Thursday each week:
Time slots determined by school administration will be available for sign-up in September. There is no tutoring during school/student holidays and mandatory closed campus testing dates.
