Online Tutors Needed (State College Area)
Description:
TutorChatLive.org is currently recruiting volunteers to tutor online starting when we relaunch the site on January 18, 2010.
The main responsibility is tutoring students who request our free, live help. Our service is open and available to anyone that can access the website. Tutors work from the comfort of their own homes/offices on their computer and chat one-on-one with students in an instant messaging-type program. Tutors have many tools at their disposal such as the ability to link the student with online resources, draw on a virtual whiteboard, and transfer the chat to other available tutors online should they need further assistance.
Tutors can tutor in any subject area for which they have knowledge of, at least at the middle school/high school level. Math/science is of high demand, but not required.
We are very flexible with scheduling but request at minimum that tutors be online for two hours a week and commit to six months of tutoring with our service.
If you are a high school student in need of community service hours, we will gladly provide those.
Application:
Please apply online at our (soon to be redesigned) website at http://www.tutorchatlive.org.
Once we receive and review your application, you will be contacted to set up a phone meeting where we will discuss more about our program and give you the opportunity to ask questions.
Next, telephone orientations will take place late November/early December at which point we will teach tutors the ins and outs of the site and chat program for preparation for our launch on January 18, 2010.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at admin@tutorchatlive.org
We hope to hear from you soon!

Marine SGT David Emery was severely injured from a suicide bomber while serving in Iraq in February 2007. The impact of his injuries resulted in a double leg amputation.
Homes For Our Troops wants to build a specially adapted home for SGT Emery and his daughter to help them move forward in his recovery. But we need your help!
Join the Street Team to raise awareness in the central PA area to get others involved to donate their time, skill or supplies toward the construction of this home.
You can get others involved as well to help with this effort!

Homes for Our Troops is a non-profit, non-partisan, 501 (c)(3) organization founded in 2004. This organization is strongly committed to helping those who have selflessly given to their country and have returned home with serious disabilities and injuries. We assist severely injured Servicemen and Women and their immediate families by raising donations of money, building materials and professional labor and then coordinating the process of building a new home or adapting an existing home for handicapped accessibility. The finished home is then given to the veteran.

 and the Golfina (Olive Riddle Turtle). The people involved in the project help by collecting eggs, burying them in the turtle camp, taking care of the baby turtles and doing some work collecting statistical information.<br>In this frame, a group of international volunteers will be involved in the project as members of the staff, which means that the volunteers will be very involved in the project and the work.<br>The goal of this project is to protect the turtles and to help run the conservation activities of the turtle protection program, promoting international cooperation and solidarity.<br>The main work consists in collecting turtle eggs, burying them again in a secure place, and transporting the baby turtles safely to the sea. This will be carried out at night since the turtles do not get out of the ocean during the day (because of their natural predators, it is safer for the turtles go out of the ocean in the dark). Together with the people from Colola Village, the volunteers will seek for the turtles and take care of the eggs and the baby turtles. Local people, who are very friendly, work with the group and explain them what to do.<br>Very motivated volunteers who really want to get involved in the work for protection of the turtles are needed for this project.<br>There are also some extra activities to be done with the local people in order to help improve the town such as setting names to the streets of the town or helping to arrange a multi-use playground for the children, and maybe some cleaning work, but this depends on the volunteers' initiative. The people of the town are very open to participate in other activities that the group of volunteers can propose, so any ideas will be welcome.<br>Language: The official language of the project is English. Some Spanish would be appreciated.<br>Location: Colola is a small town located on the Michoacan State coast, between Maruata and La Placita towns. It's a remote place that offers an excellent opportunity to be close to nature, on a virgin beach, with no tourism around.
