Student tutoring volunteer needed

After school volunteer opportunity:  A high school teacher is looking for a volunteer who would join her once or twice a week tutoring a student at home.  When a student cannot physically make it to school for health reasons, they get assigned a homebound teacher.  We are looking for someone who could help them with Algebra homework.  Transportation is available from the supervising teacher if needed.

Interested?  Contact Laura Koterba-Buss at koterbla@champaignschools.org or 217-898-6807
