The main goal for tutors/educational activities volunteers is to have each child gain a feeling of positive accomplishment and progress in their homework and learning activities.

There will be one or two seasonal volunteers from the Winter Nights program in attendance each night, in addition to a Tutoring Coordinator from St. John Vianney. All students will have a folder which will include a list of goals or age appropriate activities, some materials to be used with the child, and a log for recording what has been done with the child each day. The Winter Nights’ program will provide educational materials and games for use by the volunteers.

• Working with children anywhere from babies through high school. We will make every effort to place you with a child in the age/grade you feel most comfortable with, but with the changing population of the children in the Winter Nights program, we need volunteers who can be flexible and willing to work with a child of any age.
