High School Volunteer Tutors
We're looking for enthusiastic high school students who are proficient in both English and Spanish and have a genuine passion for helping others. No formal teaching experience is needed - just a warm, patient attitude and a desire to make a difference in your community.
As a tutor at Second Sentence, you'll work closely with campers on their writing, cheer them on through every sentence, and be a familiar, encouraging face they look forward to seeing each day. It's a meaningful way to give back, build leadership skills, and be part of something truly special.
We'd love to hear from you if you are:
A high school student fluent in English and Spanish
Caring, patient, and enthusiastic about working with young kids
Committed to showing up and being a reliable presence for your campers
Excited about literacy, storytelling, and community
