Relume Foundation's mission is to bring light and hope to populations of the United States and Africa that are most in need of quality care. With the tools of life-giving resources, we can expand our reach in greater numbers locally in NYC and abroad by providing sound nutrition, housing, medical services and education.

Make an impact by providing virtual tutoring! Dedicated volunteers will provide 1-on-1 tutoring for high school students (grades 9-12) through Relume Foundation's virtual program. While we support students from grades 3-12, we particularly need tutors for high school students, making this role crucial for providing the support they need.

Commitment (2 hours per week)

• Volunteer tutors conduct a 1-hour weekly session via Zoom on Tuesday or Thursday evenings, or Saturday late mornings/noon, depending on the volunteer's availability.
• Tutors spend 1 hour each week preparing for the sessions, totaling a two-hour commitment per week.

Qualifications

• Volunteers complete a 15-minute application and provide proof of expertise in your subject area (e.g., Math, Reading/ELA, History, Science, SAT) via report cards, transcripts, or a resume.
• The role requires strong knowledge in your chosen subject, a reliable internet connection, and a working computer. It is fully remote, so you can work from home.
• Volunteers should dress appropriately for working with students.
• Volunteers should be punctual, reliable, and patient.

Training

• Volunteers attend an initial training session and quarterly professional development days. Although there is no formal dress code, please dress appropriately for working with students.
