AventWest Children's Mentoring (AWCM) is an after-school program that provides academic and nutritional support for students in grades 1 - 12 who reside in the AventWest community near N.C. State University. By helping the children achieve academically, AWCM greatly improves their chances of graduating from high school and obtaining additional education. We are seeking volunteer tutors/mentors from 4:30 pm to 7:00 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the Spring 2024 semester.
Volunteer tutors/mentors support our students by providing encouragement and assisting with homework and other activities that promote learning and develop reading, writing, and math skills. Volunteers also establish a positive and healthy rapport with students, providing mentorship on positive behavior and decision-making. Additional volunteer tutor/mentor activities may include supervising activities, chaperoning field trips, and collaborating with community-based programs to provide other educational opportunities such as leadership development, nutrition education, and healthy eating on a limited budget.
AWCM expects tutors/mentors to volunteer for at least one shift per week for a minimum of one school semester. Consistency and routine are essential for helping children thrive. Regular volunteer attendance is key for establishing good mentoring and tutoring relationships for our students.
Please contact our team at awcmprogram@aventwest.com for more information about volunteering with the AWCM program.
