ReachOut: Share the Joys of Math and Reading with a Child
ReachOut is a math and literacy tutoring program that matches MIT students with children at local after school centers for tutoring at least twice a week. We will train you to work with young students to foster a love of reading and/or math. This is a great opportunity to work in the community, meet other MIT students, and make a difference in a child's life!  Students may participate in ReachOut as volunteers or receive a paid position through Community Service Work-Study.
Attend an information session to learn more on Monday, September 8 at 8pm. Location: 4-237.
Or apply online: http://mit.edu/mitpsc/whatwedo/volunteering/programs/reachout/index.html
