Hope – Eritrean Social Services is looking for volunteer tutors for after school tutoring for K-12 students at Pinehurst’s Eritrean Kidisti Selassie Orthodox Tewahedo Church.
Hope – Eritrean Social Services has been active in the greater Seattle community for 5 years. This non-profit organization provides various services including after-school tutoring for K-12 students, Tigrinya language, educational and cultural classes and other community services. H-ESS is currently in need of after school tutors. Volunteers are vital to help the children of this first-generation immigrant community.
Community
Navigating a foreign school system can be difficult for students and parents. Parents in the Eritrean community place a high value on education, and their students are more than willing to learn. For parents, bringing their children to the center is important and their dedication to their children’s education is evident in their commitment.
Program
H-ESS provides tutoring for as many as 25 children in a single evening. Tutors help students further their education by helping with homework, providing skill-building materials and creating a positive learning environment.
Volunteers
With growing interest within the community for after-school tutoring, volunteers are greatly needed to serve this community. H-ESS is looking for volunteers who are interested to work with people from diverse cultures and backgrounds to help them succeed in this country. Patience, flexibility and a sense of humor are a must! Tutoring sessions are Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Hours for tutoring are flexible and they are able to work with volunteers’ schedules.
