Do you love kids? Would you like to have a transformative impact on our community? Can you tutor middle and/or high school refugee youth who are building new lives in Santa Clara County? By providing in-person support with schoolwork, you can empower newcomer students to build confidence, competency, and community. The International Rescue Committee (IRC) in San Jose welcomes refugees and immigrants by providing diverse services to support independence and integration. The Volunteer Tutor works with Youth Programs and will be trained by and report to the Tutoring Coordinator. The Volunteer Tutor will enhance academic success of one or more children by providing high-quality, responsive tutoring.
