VOLUNTEER TO TUTOR A STUDENT!<br />
As we continue to navigate these strange times, we know one<br />
thing; students will need help with learning next year more than<br />
ever. There is a real need for tutor volunteers. While we don’t<br />
know yet what tutoring will look like next year, we know that<br />
we will be there for our P.S. 18 students in whatever capacity we<br />
can. Lawyers for Learning is currently working with the school<br />
on the option of remote tutoring, as well as addressing any health<br />
and safety concerns for in person tutoring. If you think you can<br />
commit to tutoring a student for one hour a week, in some form,<br />
please submit an application. We will work with tutors, students, and the school to address any questions and concerns and<br />
facilitate keeping this important program in place.<br />
Lawyers for Learning is designed to assist our community’s young people in improving their academic performance,<br />
self-esteem, and self-confidence, primarily through one-on-one tutoring. Tutoring is open to all members of the Erie<br />
County legal community, including judges, attorneys, legal secretaries, paralegals, law students, and retirees. Tutoring is<br />
a one-hour-per-week commitment. You may also sign up to tutor with other colleagues if you want to share the weekly<br />
commitment. Sessions can be held any day Monday-Friday 8:00-9:00 a.m., Monday-Thursday 4:00-5:00 p.m., or Monday-<br />
Thursday 4:30-5:30 p.m. Tutoring begins in mid-October and takes place at Buffalo School #18, 750 West Avenue in<br />
Buffalo. If you would like to volunteer to tutor a child, please visit www.lawyersforlearning.org to submit your application.<br />
For more information or questions, please contact the Lawyers for Learning tutoring coordinator, Sarah Duval, at sduval@<br />
elderjusticeny.org or 716-853-3087 x.225.<br />
