Likewise, YBPCS tutors commit to maintaining a set tutoring schedule, communicating in advance of any absences, and tracking student progress with the support of the Tutor Coordinator. All tutors must have a high school degree or GED. Tutors must complete a background check and provide negative TB test results before beginning service with the school.

Career Coaches

Opportunity: Help our students acquire jobs, get into vocational programs, and attend college! Use your job skills to mentor the next generation in preparing for college and career by searching for best fit jobs and schools, writing resumes, cover letters and applications, and navigating the interview process. The YBPCS’ Transitions department will work closely with Career Coaches, assisting with scheduling times with students, planning activities, and evaluating impact. All volunteers must pass a background check and provide negative TB test results before beginning service. All career coaches must have high school degree or GED and at least 1-2 years of professional experience.
