We need YOU to come support a central Texas kiddo in foster care!
We only ask for one hour a week and you get to hang out with a super cool kid who could use homework help, organizational skills, and an adult who is ready and willing to make a positive impact on their life.
We are looking for tutors to be matched with children in the foster care system who are in grades K-12. Tutors get to pick the subject and age range of the children they seek to work with and then we will match you with a kiddo who fits that description. We have virtual and in-person options available (although in-person is much more requested from kids). You do need to be over age 20 and have a clear background check to be eligible for the program!
