UPDATE from Michelle Vignery, Campus Director for De Vargas Middle School
TUTORS FOR STUDENTS. We have found that from time to time many of our students need one-on-one attention. Some struggle with math, some with reading, others just need redirection to focus on their work. We need volunteer tutors from 3:30 - 4:30 Tuesday through Thursday and 4:00 - 5:00 on Mondays. You can tutor one to four days a week – it does not matter which days. All we ask is for a commitment to consistently communicate which days you will be at program, and which days you will be absent.Tutors need not be certified teachers – or even have prior tutoring experience. They must be patient, kind, and enjoy helping students to succeed academically. For more info and information about a background check (which all Tutors must complete), please email me: memichellevignery@citizenschools.org
OR...become a volunteer Citizen Teacher!
Take your profession or passion and turn it into a life-changing apprenticeship for young people. It will be an unforgettable experience of growth and learning for you both.
The Citizen Schools New Mexico program gives adults the opportunity to help middle school students move to a long-term trajectory of success. We need volunteers for our DeVargas Middle School campus in Santa Fe at 1720 Llano Road. And for our Albuquerque program as well.
Devote 90 minutes only one afternoon a week for 11 weeks. Enable young people to learn real-world skills by creating real-world projects. (Lawyers turn their apprentices into prosecutors, artists cultivate young muralists, and gardeners lead a team of twelve-year-old green thumbs.) The culminating project will be a product, presentation or performance called a WOW! and presented to a public audience of family, school staff, and community leaders.
Read about the most recent WOW! on Dec. 4. Click here. And previous WOW!s included a video on lead contamination, a prize-winning solar car, an arts festival, a naval warship design, a CD of local music, even a financial plan for a new business- all created by young people themselves.
