Thank you for expressing your interest in becoming a volunteer tutor! We are SO excited to have you join our organization. There are 4 steps that you need to complete before volunteering.

 

Steps to Complete (links provided below)

1. Complete 2 background checks, one for H.O.P.E. Tutoring and one for AISD. AISD's background check is coupled with their volunteer application form. If you are a High School volunteer, please submit your most recent report card and a letter of recommendation in place of the background check.

2. Review the Volunteer Handbook. Then complete the acknowledgement form after reviewing the handbook.

3. Watch the Volunteer Orientation recording. After viewing the recording, please complete the confirmation form.

4. Give some thought to your tutoring skills and comfort levels, and review some helpful resources.

Each of these steps are outlined below.

​

Background Checks (please complete both):

• HOPE Tutoring Background Check

         Note: Criminal background checks are governed by the same laws that govern credit checks, so you

         might see references made about credit checks. HOPE Tutoring is not running credit checks on our       

         volunteers.

• AISD Background Check / Application

Note: When completing the AISD volunteer application, click on "Apply Now" to start the process. Then you may choose the following options on the form:

• Affiliation: Community Member

• School Preference: McNutt Elementary or Blanton Elementary

• Organizations: Non-Profit
