Project Description: Make a difference, become a Homework Help Volunteer! Are you passionate about education and enjoy working with kids? North County Regional Library is looking for dedicated Homework Help Volunteers to support K–5 students as they build academic skills and confidence.
As a Homework Help Volunteer, you’ll:
- Assist students with completing homework assignments
- Help reinforce essential reading and math skills
- Encourage good study habits in a positive, supportive environment
- Connect students with Library resources that can support their learning
Families can register for a 30-minute session with a Library volunteer to get support in completing a homework assignment, practice math or reading skills, or learn how to access Library resources. We are seeking volunteers who can commit to a two-hour block at a Library location one time a week for the school year (or at least one semester).
Hours: Two hours per week, Tuesdays 4-6pm at North County Regional Library September 15th- December 15th.
Responsibilities: Volunteers commit to provide Homework Help for a 2-hour window in the afternoon, one day a week. Families are encouraged to register for the program but walk-up appointments may be taken when space is available. There may be time slots when students do not visit. K-5th grade students will fill out a short form to seek assistance with one of these three options: 1. Assignment Completion 2. Practice Skills OR 3. Connect students to Tutor.com. Volunteers will be trained on these three tasks, and understand that the goal is to focus on providing helpful encouragement and guidance, NOT tutoring.
