Student Volunteer Opportunity with LCS Tutors

Posted on by

We are LCS Tutoring, a community service organization at Tufts devoted to pairing Jumbos with K-12 students in the Medford/Somerville areas for tutoring, and we are currently recruiting for the spring semester! This is a great opportunity for Tufts students to give back to their local community and is a rewarding experience. Our goal is to allow students to have the freedom of tutoring in any subject and age group that they feel comfortable with, and we offer a multitude of resources and events to support our tutors.

Students can sign up to be a tutor using the following link: https://forms.gle/J8eFZqqr1fgfMwar8.
