Rising Stars Volunteer Tutoring Program
Mission: Strengthen reading and math skills
of at-risk students in the city of Milwaukee.
Did you know?
The School Sisters of Notre Dame, eager to share their love of learning with at-risk students, have been providing this tutoring program since 2005. Sixty volunteer tutors in 14 Milwaukee schools, public and private, help approximately 300 students to strengthen their language arts and math skills each week. These students are Rising Stars in the making.
You can volunteer by committing to tutor at least one hour a week during the academic year. You can share the joy of achievement with a struggling student. We invite you to partner with us in this transformative ministry. What you do will make a difference and create a positive change in the lives of these students and their families. The schools we are involved with are listed below.
Orientation is provided for tutors before tutoring begins. In addition we meet twice a year for sharing experiences, inspiration and appreciation.
