Volunteer academic mentors allow Tutoring Plus to advance educational equity by offering free tutoring, mentoring, and enrichment programming for Cambridge youth in grades 4–12. As an academic mentor, you are supporting youth as an academic tutor and a personal mentor. All youth benefit from having an additional person in their lives to look up to and talk to, and you make a positive impact by offering consistent support and enthusiasm.

Volunteers commit to at least one academic semester for 1 hour per week at their program location. All volunteers must pass a CORI background check.

In-person volunteer opportunities are available from Monday–Thursday at 5 program locations:

• Fletcher Maynard Academy (225 Windsor Street, Cambridge, MA 02139): 6-7 pm

• Cambridge Street Upper School (840 Cambridge Street, Cambridge, MA 02141): 6-7 pm
