My name is Abby Hare and I’m a Somerville mom and the volunteer coordinator for Somerville Youth Soccer.  This Fall, we are bringing TOPSoccer, a program for kids with cognitive and/or physical disabilities, to Somerville.  We are looking for volunteers to help coach on Friday evenings in September and October and I was hoping you could ask the students in your program if they had any interest in participating.  If they do, they can email me directly (abbyhare627@gmail.com) and I’d be happy to give them more information.

Additionally, if you know of any students (preK-12th) who would be interested in participating in the program, please share the registration link above with them.

Thanks so much!

We are looking for someone to help with our baby’s daycare drop-off on weekday mornings. The job would start in early September and would involve picking up our baby from our home in Inman Square around 8:10 am and taking him up Beacon St to daycare in Somerville (~20-minute walk or ~5-minute drive). This would be Monday–Friday and we will pay $50-100 per week depending on commute time and transportation method. Please email Tessa at tessabertozzi@gmail.com or text 442-322-4366 if interested!

Let’s connect great professionals with a great school community!

I’m reaching out to see if you might be able to share the following opportunity with students in your program who are interested in tutoring or child development.

We are a Cambridge-based family seeking a tutor for our rising 3rd grade daughter, who attends Baldwin Elementary School. She is currently meeting grade-level expectations in both reading and math. We’re looking for someone to supplement and enrich the support she receives at school—not to remediate or bring her up to grade level.

Ideally, the tutor would also be comfortable helping with basic executive function skills (such as organizing school materials or staying on task during homework), though this is a bonus and not a requirement.

Details:

• 1–2 hours per week
• In our home in Cambridge
• Flexible scheduling
• Competitive hourly rate ($50–$100/hour)
• Possibility to continue into the school year
