Tutoring at Thurgood Marshall

Here’s your opportunity to give back. For one hour, just once a week on your way home from work, you can go into a nearby Seattle grade school and tutor a child who needs a little extra help with his or her studies.  Invest in Youth is looking for additional tutors for the 2010-2011 school year.

Tutor and Student at Thurgood Marshall

Participating in Invest in Youth requires a tutoring commitment of one hour per week (with several holidays) for the duration of the school year.

Upon joining the program, you will be paired with an elementary school student (a 3rd-5th grader) and work with that same student for the entire year, getting to know their strengths and weaknesses while tracking their progress from week to week. It is an extremely rewarding experience for both students and their tutors.  We need you!

Testimonials

The success of the Invest in Youth program can, indeed, be measured quantitatively, but the most powerful expression, I see is the joy of both tutors and students at the end of the year as they celebrate their success and the requests of tutors to continue working with the same student for the coming year. — Susie Murphy, Principal
