Our organization is currently searching for candidates to fill these volunteer positions:

            Prepare financial statements that are needed for required reports (monthly)

            Keep and maintain accounts of the organization’s properties and business transactions

Student/Tutor Coordinator assigns students from waiting list to new tutors and to tutors who are ready for a new student. Time commitment averages a couple of hours per month, except for the critical time in February or March between the two workshop sessions and again a week in the fall between workshop sessions. That is when matching is done for new tutors joining us.
