Academic Support

Here are suggestions on how to support your partner school in academics:

• Provide guest speakers for a Career Fair, for all classes, for a particular unit or for the AVID program. (learn more about AVID and which schools have it )
  
  
• Tutor students one Saturday per month and help them prepare for standardized tests.
  
  
• Tutor students once a week before school starts (7:30-8:30am for most schools).
  
  
• Help build partner school's library by donating books and organizing others' donations.
  
  
• Organize a mini-course as part of Student Development Days once a month (on media, non-profits, etc.).
  
  
• Provide internship opportunities for students during the summer.
  
  
• Help students prepare for history and science fairs or help judge the fairs
