Volunteer opportunity in Baltimore city schools
UMBC's college access/readiness program, Path Before Me, is actively recruiting Spring volunteers. We hope to have students placed in site schools by the end of February. Volunteers will work in city schools, providing "college coaching" to high school juniors.Last semester, we had 13 student volunteers, who held over 100 individual coaching sessions with our high school students. Our youth feedback has been great--so we are excited for this Spring!If you, or anyone you know is interested--or if you have questions--please email me at afrank3@umbc.edu.To begin tutoring, you will need to register through the Shriver Center.
