Starting a High School Helpers chapter at your high school is an incredible opportunity to give back and create lasting impact in Chicago's elementary schools. As a chapter founder, you'll lead a team of student volunteers from your school who mentor and tutor elementary students preparing for selective enrollment.
What is it?
Your Role
The process is straightforward: submit your school information and personal details through our chapter creation form. Once approved, you'll receive comprehensive training materials, curriculum resources, and ongoing support from our central team. You'll coordinate with your assigned elementary school partner, schedule weekly tutoring sessions, and recruit fellow students to join your chapter.
Chapter leaders develop invaluable skills in organization, communication, and community engagement while directly impacting students' educational trajectories. You'll work closely with our team to ensure your chapter runs smoothly, and you'll have the autonomy to shape programming that fits your schedule and strengths.
