Volunteer Enrollment

Thank you for expressing your interest in becoming a volunteer!

 

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. All volunteers will need to complete a background check through H.O.P.E. Tutoring

   • 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.

   • If you are volunteering at an Arlington ISD school, you will also need to complete a background check through AISD. ​

     • 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  

   • ​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.​​

   • HOPE Tutoring Volunteer Handbook

   • Volunteer Handbook Acknowledgement and Waiver

3. To give us a better understanding of your tutoring interests and strengths, please complete the self-assessment form. Also, review some of the tutoring resources available to you. We can provide you with many more resources once you start tutoring

• Volunteer Self-Assessment Form

• Tutor Resources

​

Please remember that we follow the Arlington ISD calendar. We do not offer tutoring on days when no school is held for students.

​

We know that was A LOT of information! If you have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to schedule a 1:1 with our Community Engagement Coordinator, Toni Cauthen, to answer any questions/concerns you might have.

Our volunteers are the heart of HOPE Tutoring, and it is because of your dedication to our students that we continue to help them excel. Thank you for your service! We look forward to working with you!
