Our Volunteer Model: Study Groups

Study Groups are a structured and fun way to make a difference for students in an underserved community. The study group allows volunteers to serve as both mentor and tutor to a small group of students. You can have a significant impact with just an hour a week!



  • Volunteers are in class during the school day.
  • Teams of volunteers go into each classroom once a week at the same time.
  • Each volunteer works with the same small group of 3-4 students each week.
  • Every student in the room is supported by a volunteer.
  • The teacher is always in the classroom to provide support.
