Looking for a way to give back to your community?

Invest in Youth is a Seattle-based nonprofit organization that provides free tutoring to local elementary students across the city.

If you’re looking for a way to get involved or give back to your community, this could be your opportunity! Invest in Youth is looking for role model tutors to work one-on-one with elementary students at local schools, including Green Lake’s Daniel Bagley Elementary School.

Tutoring begins the second week of October, runs through May and takes place once every week at each school.

Each tutor is matched with the same student for the whole school year, and the pair works together on things like playing math games, reading stories or working on homework, for one hour each week. Educational materials and activities, training and support, and heartfelt appreciation are provided at every session.

For more information or to apply to be a tutor, please contact Erika Chen at echen@investinyouth.org or visit our website: https://www.investinyouth.org/volunteer/

Can’t commit to the full school year? Become a substitute tutor or share this with your friends who might be interested.
