About the role

The Carnegie Center is recruiting volunteer tutors for the 2026-2027 School Year tutoring session. The program operates on a rolling start from August to May. Volunteers may choose to tutor in-person at the Carnegie Center, or be matched with a child for virtual instruction. In-person tutoring typically takes place Monday-Thursday 3:30-7:30pm. Virtual tutoring can be any day and time. Tutoring requires a one-hour-a-week commitment and hours are flexible. Tutors may select their preferred grade level/subject and schedule, pending student availability. We serve students ranging from Kindergarten to 12th grade and typically provide tutoring in reading and/or math. Learn, play, and make a difference in a child's life! Tutor matches are more important than ever- children have fallen significantly behind as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Tutoring helps a child re-build their confidence in learning and builds social skills which are crucial for success and overall well-being. All tutors must be 16 years of age or older, if over 18 the volunteer must pass a background check. Orientations and trainings are available, and every tutor gets to take a free class at the Carnegie Center! To sign up, please contact Tutoring Director Holly Farthing at holly@carnegiecenterlex.org In-person tutors preferred, but we welcome virtual volunteers from across the US!

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
