West Orange African Heritage Organization Seeks Tutors For Students

WEST ORANGE, NJ — The West Orange African Heritage Organization (WOAHO) is seeking tutors for their tutoring program at Redwood and Kelly Elementary Schools.

According to a news release, the long-time program has been a success in West Orange elementary schools, assisting students with homework and/or practice materials assigned by their teachers.

The program will run every Wednesday from 3:20 to 4:20 p.m. through May 2024, barring holidays or school closures. The ratio of tutor to student is one-to-one.

“If a tutor is absent, we ask that a tutor assist two students for the day,” organizers said. “First, second, and third grade students are part of the program.”

Adults and West Orange High School students are eligible to tutor. The WOAHO requires all volunteers to:

• Sign a tutoring application
• Pass a background check
• Review a tutoring manual
