Tutors

Bridge Communities is in need of CERTIFIED TEACHERS who are looking for a challenge and the opportunity to help children of homeless families now living in transitional housing.

The Bridge Transitional Housing Program is designed to help homeless families with dependent children become self-sufficient. The adults work in a structured program designed to give them the skills needed to maintain their independence once they leave the Program.

All the children in our program have experienced homelessness and many may have experienced domestic violence or attended many different schools. Most have not had the benefit of a stable home to motivate them to achieve in school.

Bridge's mission is to help the children in our program achieve academic success and to ensure that the parents understand the educational process and support the children in their efforts to achieve in school.

Here is an opportunity for you to use your classroom expertise in a one-to-one setting helping high-risk students.

Students meet with their tutors once or twice each week, for one hour per session. Tutoring normally takes place in one of our three Learning Resource Centers located in Glendale Heights, Naperville and Westmont.
