Students everywhere have fallen behind in school due to Covid Learning Loss. This is especially true in areas already struggling with generational poverty. We go into THESE area schools and work directly with students who are suffering from factors like food insecurity, violence, trauma and illiteracy in the home. In order to have the most impact, we rely on a force of highly-trained volunteer tutors, who do very INTENTIONAL work on skills students need to succeed. If you love teaching, but don't love the record-keeping, behavioral problems and other things taking teachers away from their primary purpose, you'll love working with us! Most of our volunteers are retired teachers and professionals invested heavily in education. We pull students from class for 1:1, 15-20 minute sessions that have maximum impact. You may work daily, every week or several days per week in our HAMPTON LOCATION (23663) and/or in NEWPORT NEWS, VA (23607). Mornings in Newport News.
*We are a Christian Non-Profit.
*EVERY volunteer undergoes an interview and background check.
*Company-wide training before Summer School (JUNE) and every SEPT.

At Newsome-Bailey Project, our mission is to positively impact the academic, spiritual, emotional and physical health of underserved students.
The Newsome-Bailey Project is a Christian Nonprofit based out of Newport News, VA. We are committed tutors and volunteers who work together--with the student, family and school system--to equip and empower underserved students to succeed in school and in life. We do all this for FREE. We catch the students who are starting to fall behind in class and work with them 1:1 just outside the classroom, during school hours, to get them caught up. YOU could BE the difference! This is also an opportunity to MENTOR students.
