The Next Step Public Charter School

Volunteer

We are in need of tutors during and after school. Classes are from 9am to 3pm Monday through Friday and students stay after school until 5pm. Students need support in Spanish and English literacy and numeracy, English as a Second Language, Reading, Writing, and Math. Tutors may participate in individual or small group tutoring. Spanish and English speaking tutors are needed. All volunteers must complete an interview and background check as well bring PPD results.

The Next Step provides a full-time academic program and has designed a curriculum that addresses students’ needs. It is an ungraded school and students are placed in steps according to their academic level in their native language, Spanish or English. Content courses are taught in the students’ native language and English Language Learners have classes in English as a Second Language. Classes are small; there is one teacher for every ten students. We have two full time counselors as well as a full time Transitions Coordinator who provide wraparound services to meet the spectrum of students’ needs.
