Volunteer tutors and mentors play a significant role in our students’ success. Learn more about each of these opportunities below.
The Preuss School is both a middle and high school, with classes taking place from 8:55 am - 4:00 pm. Each school year we look for dedicated volunteer tutors and interns who want to make a difference in the lives of our students. We do not require a certain number of minimum hours from our volunteers, as we appreciate any service time you are able to volunteer.
Tutor positions are available in many classroom subjects such as English, math, science, history, and spanish.
Internships are available in various departments including Finance, Student Services, and Registrar. Interns do not work directly with students, but they insteat provide assistance with data entry, filing, updating documents, and/or help with organizing events.

Members of the community—faculty included—serve as mentors for Preuss students. Mentors act in a capacity of role model, teacher and friend to encourage and motivate students to reach their educational and personal goals. The exchange between the pair is educational for both, as each person brings their own unique experiences to the exchanges. Mentors are paired with one student based on common hobbies, career interests, and goals for the mentoring relationship.
Meetings take place for 30-45 minutes on the school's campus for a period of at least one year. In most cases the mentor/mentee relationship continues for several more years, often until the scholar graduates and beyond.
