Call for Volunteers

The Mark Breland Foundation is searching for qualified volunteers available to begin working with the program this Fall, at the start of the 2011-2012 academic year.

This round of hiring will be for tutors for the academic after-school program, which consists of homework help and general mentoring. If you are a student, you should be at least in their 3rd year of college with a GPA of 3.5 or higher. Experience working with children between 6 and 10, preferably in a tutoring environment is required. Candidates who do not meet these criteria exactly, but who are exceptional in ways that would make them terrific mentors will also be considered. Student must reside in New York City during the academic school year and be willing to commit to a set number of hours per week on the days to which we agree for at least one semester. You may be able to receive school credit.
