Do you have a passion for helping tutor under represented youth in our KCMO Urban Core?
**Join Scholar Smarts and Make a Difference!**
At Scholar Smarts, we are driven by our mission to *Enrich, Employ, and Empower* youth who are historically underrepresented and facing systemic challenges. We aim to uplift these young individuals by providing educational support and equipping them with the skills they need to become confident, engaged, and successful members of their communities.
Through our programs, we provide solutions that help youth overcome socio-economic barriers, focusing on tutoring, enrichment workshops, workforce and soft skills development, and college preparation.
**Does this sound like a cause you're passionate about? Read on!**
We’re seeking enthusiastic volunteers to make a real impact. While classroom experience is a plus, it’s not a requirement. If you have a nurturing spirit, empathy, and are comfortable working with culturally diverse, high-energy high school students, we would love to have you on board! Scholar Smarts provides a structured curriculum and outline, so all you need is a tech-savvy mindset, proficiency with Google Software, and a professional yet engaging demeanor.
