Older Scouts Needed:
Make A Difference in a Child’s Life.
Somerset County Tutoring Program Needs You!
September means that schools are back in session. Now more than ever, we need volunteers to help those students who are struggling back to a path to academic achievement and confidence that will lead to graduation. YOU can be the person who makes a difference in a child’s academic success by volunteering to be a tutor through the Somerset County Office of Volunteer Services’ Tutoring Program.
This program works directly with guidance counselors and teachers who make requests for tutors for their students. Requests for tutors cover a large range of subjects, ages, and grade levels.  Your area of expertise is needed! We will match your skills and knowledge to a student who needs you. All tutoring sessions are conducted at local public libraries. After students are paired with a volunteer tutor, the time and frequency of meeting with students is arranged by the volunteer tutor and the family.  If you are bilingual, you can be a great help in tutoring non-or limited- English speaking students If you are interested in becoming a volunteer tutor, please email [email protected] Let us know the subjects you are available to tutor, grade level preferred, and the towns you can travel to.
Scouting for Food:  You can collect for Scouting for food at any time during the year.  Since we do not have plastic bags you will need to ask your donors to provide bags, boxes, etc. for your collection.  If you would like a template for door hangers or flyers please contact me.
