CSV Volunteers

Our talented volunteers range in age from older teens to those in their 80's and include working professionals, retirees, undergraduate and graduate students, parents, and others from Cambridge and surrounding communities. Volunteers serve as individual tutors, classroom and library assistants, and special project leaders. CSV volunteers help students with basic subjects, including reading, language arts, math, science, and ESL, as well as assist with college essay writing, Science Olympiad coaching, AVID mentoring, and MCAS preparation. In addition, CSV manages the CRLS Tutoring Center, offering before, during, and after-school help, as well as an early morning Drop-In Math Center.
