Before a child can learn anything from you, they need to know you're coming back.

Many of the young people we support have grown up with adults who disappeared. A caseworker transferred. A volunteer who stopped showing up. A teacher who moved on. Over time, the brain starts treating new adults as temporary by default. It's a survival response, not a behaviour problem.

So when a volunteer shows up at the same time, every single week, something shifts. Not overnight. But slowly, the wall comes down a little. And that's when real learning can begin.

You don't need to be a perfect tutor. You just need to be consistent. That reliability is the lesson, long before any English grammar gets taught.

We're opening our next volunteer intake soon. If you have two hours a week and you're willing to show up, we'd love to hear from you. Link in bio or email us at [email protected]
