Tutor

The SOS Tutoring Program is a year-long tutoring program for elementary school children that focuses on providing tutor/mentors for students who need tutoring in literacy. During the summer, volunteers will tutor students two hours each morning four days a week for seven weeks. During the school year, CIS will offer the program two hours after school one day per week. The program is a continuation of the SOS Tutoring Program implemented by Communities In Schools that was offered during the summer of 2003. CIS provides a full-time staff member to coordinate the program.
