Volunteering as a L.I.G.H.T Tutor

    During these times, youth across the country may be worried about how they will continue their learning. If you are like me, you may have skills or knowledge that can support another youth who may be in need of extra support. That's, why I joined the L.I.G.H.T program to help tutor another student! 

L.I.G.H.T stands for Lead, Inspire, Grow, Hope, Transform. 

There are a variety of subjects that can sign up to help a student with, and there are many topics there, not just limited to the basic school topics, so you can really bring all your skills to the table if you want! I think I remember seeing topics like Computer Science, which I am interested in learning myself! 

    I am very excited because I have been a tutor before, and this program is very unique as it is held through ZOOM. The execs and members are very friendly, welcoming and will be eager to help you navigate the lessons and zoom process if you are new, so there is nothing to fear! 

    The process is very easy, you have an assigned 1-hour time slot, and you basically are paired with your student through ZOOM Breakout rooms. There are multiple tutors helping multiple students at the same time as you so it definitely feels like a team atmosphere! 

    I would highly recommend volunteering if you can because there are always strengths and support that you can bring to the table! 

    I am pretty sure they are accepting tutors and students across Ontario, but maybe Canada as well, you can ask! As always, your action can make a difference to someone else :) 

Here is there message:
