AT THE 2016-2017 NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSE TUTORING & SCIENCE PROGRAM
You are invited to join the 2016-2017 Tutoring & Science Program. We are looking for students (grade 8-12) and adults to serve as Math and English tutors and Science mentors to elementary students from Neighborhood House, a community social service program located in Morristown that serves a diverse population. The 2016-2017 tutoring & science program will be led by experienced teachers using an enriched curriculum.
The 2015-2016 Tutoring Program at Neighborhood House was a huge success. We doubled the number of students to 36 and tutors to 25. Everyone had fun and everyone learned a lot! The second to fourth grade students who faithfully attended each Saturday morning, the tutors from surrounding high schools, the program staff at Neighborhood House -- all shared good times as the the students improved in reading and math and learned about the Scientific Method by building and testing Balloon Racers and Sinking Ships! This year we are adding an exciting robotic Creature Challenge sponsored by Lego for the older children. We are looking for 8 special tutors to run the 4 science teams.
The tutoring & science program meets on Saturday mornings from 10:00 AM-12:00 noon from September 2016 through May 2017 (not on holidays or vacations). We understand that today's student is often engaged in sports, music or other activities that make a year-long commitment on Saturday mornings extremely difficult. The tutoring program has been structured so that conflicting obligations can be resolved with the help of substitute tutors or by a family “sharing” one child.
Very few volunteer opportunities available to high school students provide a chance to make a direct positive impact on a child's life. Tutoring not only provides a valuable service to the community, it is recognized universally as a commitment to the common good.
Please ACT NOW if you are interested in serving as a tutor and/or science mentor. Call Caroline Jacobus @ 973-543-6538 or e-mail:bobjacobus@yahoo.com
Last year's tutors not only gained the experience and joy of helping others, but were able to use this experience to satisfy community service requirements and as part of their resume in applying to colleges
