Urban League Volunteer Tutors

media release: Three weeks ago the Urban League of Greater Madison put out a call for volunteers willing to join our effort to support middle school scholars in Madison and Sun Prairie. Thank you to everyone who answered our call and signed up to volunteer! In the weeks since that call, due in no small part to the new volunteers that have joined our program, we have been able to provide tutoring support to over 50 more middle school scholars through the Schools of Hope Program. Unfortunately, there are still many scholars waiting for the same kind of support that many of their peers have received.  

As we enter the month of March, we still have many scholars waiting to be matched with a tutor, and we are calling on you for help one more time. We are looking to recruit at least 25 more volunteers in the next week to enable us to support these scholars. You can make a difference in just 1-2 hours per week! We have openings at 11 different schools and a variety of times to accommodate your schedule.

Get involved today! Call (608) 729-1226, email us at volunteer@ulgm.org, or apply online.
