  • SOAR after-school program recruiting volunteer tutors for Spring 2018

    Jan 16, 2018 6:15 pm1 views

    SOAR: Student Opportunities for After-School Resources

    1605 W. Kirby Ave.
    Champaign, IL (International Prep Academy) 

    Primary Contact: María Lang, Program Coordinator
    Email: mglang2@illinois.edu Ph. 956-535-1459 

    SOAR: Student Opportunities for After-School Resources is a partnership between the University of Illinois and the International Prep Academy (IPA) in Champaign. The program provides after-school enrichment for Latina/o bilingual youth. Children in grades 2-5 benefit from tutoring in reading and homework followed by social activities. The program is part of a growing national trend for dual language instruction in schools. Instruction in two languages has value for both emergent bilinguals and those fluent in English. The goal of dual language instruction is to promote positive cross-cultural understanding, bilingualism and biliteracy at a time when knowledge of language and culture confers power. SOAR is one of several programs available through the Center for Education in Small Urban Communities. The Center is an outreach arm in the College of Education. 

    Opportunities for U of I students include:

    One-to-One Tutoring. SOAR tutoring is scheduled for TWR from 2:00-3:15, with time for reading, homework assistance, and social activities with the children. Illinois students are paired with the same child for the semester and may choose to volunteer more than one day per week. Spanish-speaking skills are not necessary in order to participate. Tutors will need to complete a background check through the Champaign School District the third week of classes. The SOAR program coordinator will provide the clearance form for the tutors. This opportunity is especially interesting to Illinois students who want to gain cross-cultural awareness and relationship skills.

    U of I students who would like to tutor with SOAR need to commit by January 29.

    The University of Illinois Police Department (UIPD) needs your assistance with crime prevention and reporting of suspicious and/or criminal activity within the campus area. As such, the Office of the Dean of Students is collaborating with UIPD to introduce members of the campus community—students, faculty, and staff—to the I-Watch program. I-Watch is a campus version of the Neighborhood Watch Program that exists in communities all across the country. In addition to receiving information on personal, home, and auto security, I-Watchers—the trained program participants—are given instruction in observation and reporting suspicious activity. To learn more about the I-Watch program, contact a representative at campuscommunity@illinois.edu, or REGISTER at https://illinois.edu/fb/sec/2441589 for one of the upcoming training sessions.
