​Volunteer with Los Ayudantes!   

See the schedule for volunteering below. 

One day a week is all that's needed to make a real difference in the lives of RWC middle schoolers - but more than one day or period would be even better!     
​
​You will become an important, trusted adult in the kids’ lives when you make this commitment to tutor them throughout the year. 
Tutoring Requirements
  • No special foreign language skills are needed.
  • Proficiency in English is required. 
  • Background check and clean TB test required.
  • We ask that before volunteering, you make sure you can commit to coming for the school year. 
  • Training and orientation will be provided.
