College Student Tutors
CalSOAP lesgislation
requires that programs employ college students to work directly with
younger students in our program. College students are strong role models as
they provide tutoring and pre-college advising.
By working in the
schools, our college students gain meaningful work experience while helping
meet the expenses of their own education. Many of the students who have
worked for us aspire to be teachers. In fact, our former staff have gone on
to credential programs, to social work and school counseling programs, and
the Peace Corps.
Our college student
staff are enrolled in either College of the Redwoods or Humboldt State
University, but they hail from places as diverse as Fortuna, Southern
California, the Bay area, Colorado, and New Jersey. It is a particularly
enriching experience for local college students to return as a pre-college
advisor to the high school where they graduated.
