Service Learning students may serve as Tutors and work consistently with one or more students to address academic needs as well as provide support and encouragement. CIS tutors work in conjunction with the CIS Site Coordinator or an assigned school representative to provide academic support based on current classroom assignments, topics, and needs. CIS tutors also help students build study techniques that will permit them to study effectively and become independent, self-directed learners.

Service Learning students may serve as Mentors, caring and consistent role models for students. Our program is focused on relationship building and the student’s preferences and interests guide what each session entails. Sessions vary by grade level but typically include activities such as spending time getting to know each other, playing games, making arts and crafts, working through challenges, offering school/ education advice, and much more."
