GED Tutors

The HOY Program is in need of volunteers to tutor our GED preparation class students, age 18 – 21, at the Steepletown location. GED tutors often assist these youth with online job search and development of professional resumes and cover letters. Occasionally, GED tutors will also need to tutor college freshman that study at Steepletown. Each tutor is requested to tutor at least one day per week for at least 3 months to build trust and report with students.
