Rochester Public Library: HELP!


What? Books, movies, computers and more all for the low cost of a library card.
Who? High School students and beyond can volunteer.
Volunteer Process Time: Took me around 2 months but the process can be shortened if you quickly contact the volunteer coordinators.

Thursday, January 10th marked my first tutoring session at the Rochester Public Library. The experience was great but I quickly learned that I couldn’t make an impact without assistance from other volunteers.

The first two young adults that entered the tutoring room were looking for help with their mathematic homework. I can figure a problem out given time, but I’m no math pro. We would have been lost if another tutoring volunteer hadn’t of arrived. Even better, the volunteer tutor was a math teacher.

Volunteering at a new place can be tricky. That’s why my motto is to never be like the guy who keeps driving and refuses to stop and ask for directions. We all need some help.
