Help Cambridge Public School Students!
By Cambridge School Volunteers (CSV)
CSV volunteers support students by tutoring or mentoring. Some assist teachers in the classroom. We ask volunteers for 1 hour per week minimum. We place volunteers in all Cambridge Public Schools.

This program runs during the school year.
A volunteer's schedule depends on the grade level, volunteer program, and availability. We ask for a minimum of one hour per week, for at least 12 weeks. Volunteer jobs are in person roles, subject to possible changes in the Cambridge Public Schools COVID-19 safety policies.
Ages: Adults.
A background (CORI) check and orientation is required, as well as immunization records.
Registration required
- Sign-up is ongoing
