You can make a difference by devoting one hour a week to B&B
“B&B has been a rewarding experience. The program has allowed me to influence kids so they feel empowered to learn, ask questions and to be the best they can be.”
“I LOVE serving as a volunteer at B&B.”
“It’s clear that students love being at B&B and feel comfortable there because of the warm environment created. ”
What do we do?
Our daily, hour-long program connects students to caring and committed volunteer tutors. Tutors typically commit to one morning a week to work one-on-one with students on homework, reading, or math. B&B tutors receive training on how to provide academic help and ongoing support from the B&B Site Director.
The need for volunteer tutors has never been greater. We need your help to support all B&B students! We are looking to build a team of community members committed to educational justice and who love working with kids. In addition, we have a specific need for tutors who are fluent Spanish speakers.
How can you get involved?
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Books & Breakfast! In an effort to keep our volunteer intake process streamlined, we welcome new community volunteers at five different points throughout the school year: three onboarding periods in the fall, one in the winter, and one in the spring.
