CAP has two volunteer opportunities, tutoring and mentoring.  Please read the job descriptions below and check the box next to  the one that you are most interested in: 

  

Mentor

Job Description:  Becoming a Mentor is a terrific way to support young women in your community!  Mentors serve as advisors, role models, career and educational guides, and trusted friends…every relationship is a little bit different.  Mentors have a flexible schedule and will meet with their “mentees” every week or so.  CAP also organizes occasional group outings for all Mentors and Mentees.  Mentors are expected to make at least a one-year commitment to the program, and will attend a comprehensive training which includes topics such as adolescent development, communication skills, and cross-cultural issues.  Training sessions are interactive and dynamic, and will take place in Winter/Spring 2008.

 

Tutor 

Job Description:  Tutoring offers adult women the chance to provide girls with academic support and act as positive female role models.  Tutors meet with students once a week to provide help with one or more academic subjects, and/or test preparation.  Tutors must be able to commit to 60-90 minutes at the same time each week (Mon and/or Wed evenings, approximately 5:30-7:00 PM).  Tutors may start this fall or in the spring semester (January 2008). Tutors will attend an Orientation Session and Tutor Training prior to being matched with program students.
