FGI Volunteer Tutor Match Application
Are you skilled in a subject area taught during middle or high school? Do you understand the developmental milestones of younger children?  If your answer is "yes" to either question, this volunteer opportunity may be just right for you!

 So that we may give your application full consideration, please fill out the below questions.
 
Also, for safety purposes, once approved, we will ask you to fill out a national criminal background and sex offender check. We will also ask you to take a 30-minute assessment called the Diana Screen - a sexual risk screening tool for individuals who work with children. All information discovered will remain confidential. Our focus is to protect children and youth.

Consider this opportunity if you can commit to one quarter (3 months) of weekly face-to-face tutor support of a student, or bi-weekly support over the summer.  As each quarter winds down, you and the student will decide the next steps, whether to continue the tutoring relationship or whether to take a break. Most tutors drive 15-30 minutes when commuting to their sessions. This will be discussed during the matching process

Statistically, these students have the lowest academic scores and lowest high school graduation rates of any other group. Why? They are in a point of limbo - with significant uncertainty. Yet, they are capable. Thank you for helping them to see this.

Candidates will be contacted by the Education Advocate at Fostering Great Ideas regarding the status of their application.
