Upwards Scholars, a nonprofit located in Northern California, provides academic support to ESL students, so they can attend community colleges in the San Mateo Community College District and Peralta Community College District in California. We are looking for a tutor for an Introduction to Law course (LEGL 240) who can commit at least 1 hour per week for this semester. This can be done either in-person or virtually.

- Bus passes, which cost $320 a semester, for all students who need to take the bus to college.
- Tutors, by community volunteers who meet with students at a time and location that is convenient to the student and tutor.
