The Tutoring Program has openings for volunteers to
provide one-on-one assistance to children who need academic
tutoring. Beverly Hills High School students are very
welcome. A two hour per-week commitment is requested.
Volunteers are assigned to work one hour a week with a
child from 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm Tuesdays at Horace
Mann Elementary School or Thursdays at Beverly Vista
Elementary School. Follow-up sessions for tutors to
share experiences, are held weekly after tutoring from
4:00 pm to 5:30 pm. Please call Adrienne Weise at (310) 271-9999
x212. “I like a lot of things about The Maple Counseling Center Tutoring Program. What I like the most is the love that’s
around us all. The tutoring is a big inspiration to
me. It is very helpful because the tutors are smart
and kind. They have big hearts that open to their students.
I do admit I will miss the tutoring because it has helped
me raise my grade. But most of all I’ll miss my
wonderful tutor Michelle.” Joyce – 6th grader
Adults who want to pass on the skills of good listening,
better communication and empathy to school children
can find a volunteer opportunity in the Community Circle
Program. Please contact LuNel LeMieux at (310) 821-1975
for more information. “My name is Kenton. I am 7 years old…I see
Omi at Community Circle…we talk about feelings…
I learned the importance of being kind. Having friends
is very important to me…Omi and my Mom and my Dad
tell me to never start a fight or hurt anyone. So I
listen to them. I know that I have to care about other
people. Different kinds of people make up our world.”
