Tutor Children with Special Needs




Orion is a small school that specializes in teaching complex students who have social and emotional challenges, including Asperger's and ADHD. We offer a strength based and supportive alternative school for our students. Our teacher to student ratio is a low 1:4 in classes of four students. We need volunteers to help in both the classroom and the office.
No previous experience necessary, but a willingness and interest to help students with special needs.
Volunteers must be physically able to work with very active and impulsive students, be willing to provide 3 references and give recent background check.
*We ask that all volunteers commit to a minimum of 2 hours per week the same day and time each week for the remainder of the semester that they start volunteering. This consistency is necessary for our students.
