In order for a child to receive a tutor, an Education Referral Form for tutoring will be sent by the advocate supervisor. A member of the Education Committee will match a volunteer tutor to the child. The volunteer tutor will be contacted to request tutoring assistance. The tutor would be added to the case in Optima.
A current volunteer who wants to participate in the tutoring program will communicate their interest to the head of the education committee. The volunteer will also state what subjects and grade levels they are comfortable with. No specific qualifications are required, except an interest in educational advocacy.
This volunteer can be currently assigned a case but cannot tutor the child they are assigned to as the advocate volunteer.
The case in Optima should be updated with current educational records and contact logs by the advocate supervisor and volunteer advocate assigned to the case. Frequency of tutoring will be based on the child’s needs. Tutors will be expected to enter contact logs for their tutoring time and mileage, if applicable, in Optima.
