WSU Smart Kids Mentoring/Tutoring Organization needs volunteers as they are starting their program in October. The organization's goal is to help children reach their highest academic potential. The volunteers will mentor/tutor children in their schools or local libraries. A mentor will guide a child who is intending to move along the same path as the mentor. Tutors will only teach the subjects where they show much strength. The volunteers of this program will mentor and tutor kids in Wayne and Macomb counties.

They are currently needed in these 3 schools:

Loving Elementary School (5th graders) --Detroit from 3-5p
Allen Academy (Sports team) -- Detroit from 2:50-4p
Warren Mott High School--Warren from 2:30-4:30p

Volunteers can mix and match schools or choose one school. The Smart Kids Mentoring/Tutoring Org count their community service hours too. They are really passionate in helping kids be better in their academics, future careers so on, so this is a great opportunity for anyone who is interesting in making a big difference in a child's life.

If you are interested, please email Olushola, the club's President, at eo7351[at]wayne[dot]edu.
