•  Maryland Tutoring Program Needs Volunteers

  • We look for volunteers ages 16 and up interested in working one-on-one with students on Saturday mornings from 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. in Riverdale, MD. Latino Student Fund (LSF) staff provides lesson plans and guidance, so all tutors have to bring enthusiasm and dedication. We have permanent tutors assigned to a student and expected to come every week, and floaters who we call on only when we need extra tutors (which is most weeks).

  • To get involved, volunteers are required to make an appointment for an orientation with LSF staff.  Please contact tutoringpgc@latinostudentfund.org for more information, or sign up to be a volunteer at the Latino Student Fund. View the flyer
