About this Opportunity

Helping individuals earn their GED directly impacts their lives by opening up opportunities for higher education, better job prospects, and increased self-esteem. Volunteering as a GED tutor can be incredibly rewarding. Witnessing the progress and success of your students can bring a sense of fulfillment and pride. Increasing the number of individuals with GEDs in the community can lead to a more skilled and educated workforce, ultimately benefiting the local economy and society. Volunteering as a GED tutor can challenge you to step outside your comfort zone, learn new teaching methods, and gain a deeper understanding of different learning styles and backgrounds. Volunteering often provides opportunities to meet new people, including other volunteers, staff members, and students, which can expand your social and professional network.
