Family Services is a division of Catholic Charities of Baltimore, which includes nearly half of the agency's 80 programs. This hub covers volunteering opportunities for our child welfare, behavioral health, and violence prevention programs, including St. Vincent's Villa, Safe Streets, and the Villa Maria programs.
Behavioral Health - Working with Youth - Tutoring Club (1:1 Academic Encouragement)
Tutors connect with a child for academic support, building a positive relationship. Tutoring takes place after-school hours.
Volunteer candidates must be consistent, positive, patient, flexible, and adept at appreciating “What’s strong” instead of “What’s wrong.” We are seeking individuals who are tech-competent, comfortable using Zoom, expressive, and possess clear diction – qualities that will be essential when engaging children through a virtual platform.
Commitment: 30 to 90 minutes, once a week for at least 8 weeks.
