[Vip-tutoring] NEW OPPORTUNITY!

[Maggie Meyers]

Hey tutors!! I know it's the beginning of the year, but I already have ANOTHER 
opportunity available for you!! Let me know if you're interested in the below 
program-- send me the day(s)/times you want to tutor.

Volunteers Wanted!
The Booker T. Washington Afterschool Library Program provides homework, 
reading, and math help to at-risk students in grades 3 through 5.
 
The program arose from the deep need expressed by families in the 
Shadowwood community (recent Spanish-speaking immigrants) for assistance 
for children who needed help with schoolwork. Many of the Shadowwood 
children attend B.T. Washington School; Spanish is helpful, but not required. 
This year, in addition to working with students at BTW school, we plan to 
include evening or weekend activities with parents of the students and develop a 
Community Funds of Knowledge project. For background information, see our 
website: http://ilabs.inquiry.uiuc.edu/ilab/btwalp.
 
Volunteers are needed for Fall and Spring semesters, from 3:15 to 5:15 on 
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The program begins on September 19.
 
B.T. Washington School is located at 606 E. Grove in Champaign (at the 
intersection of Wright St.), next door to the Douglass Branch Library.
 
Volunteers need to complete a volunteer application and criminal background 
check (look under "Volunteer forms & Orientation" in the Document Center on 
our website). Also, contact Julie Healy at BTW school to schedule a 20 min. 
mandatory volunteer orientation session. The background clearance process 
takes at least a week, so contact Julie as soon as possible:
