SUCCESS in the Middle is a network of schools, neighborhood sites and community-based programs in Wichita, Kansas, that are working together to recruit, screen, train, place and support volunteers to tutor or mentor middle schoolers. Options include short-term and long-term opportunities for homework help, reading or math skill-building, board games, arts/crafts, sports, music or just chatting about school, careers and life. Meet weekly with one student or a small group in a site-based program (about 45 minutes) or community-based program (about 2-3 hours). (Curious to know who has already volunteered this year and where? Click here.)
To volunteer, complete this online information form. We’ll use the information you provide to connect you with a student or small group at one of 12 middle schools, five neighborhood sites or in a community-based program that matches your preferences and availability, doing the activities you’d like to do, as often as you’d like (typically once a week for 42 minutes or more).
The next step is to attend a training session, which lasts about an hour. (If you’ve attended one at USD259 in the last 2 years you may skip this step). We’ll talk a little about who middle schoolers are, what they need and how volunteers can help. We’ll also make some suggestions regarding math and reading tutoring and complete the required registration forms.
