Opportunity Details
Youth Empowered: Provide homework support to refugee students via Zoom
Description: Refugees are a marginalized group in Hong Kong as they are unable to work and gain a decent income to serve the basic needs for them and their families. For most of the refugee children, after-school activities and tutoring that develop abilities and build self-confidence and social skills are an inaccessible luxury. Due to the language barrier, a number of children have fallen behind with their studies. Our student leaders are calling for young people with the passion and skills to provide a virtual tutoring session on Mondays for refugee primary / junior high school students. These Zoom sessions will support them with their Chinese, English, Maths or Science homework, depending on the priority for that week.
Volunteer roles:
· Volunteers will be working in a pair to provide homework support to a student through Zoom.
· Each volunteer pair will be added to a WhatsApp chat group 1-2 days before that Monday’s session.
· 2:1 homework support will be provided through Zoom with each group being allocated to their own break-out room, managed by our 'Youth Empowered' volunteer leaders.
· We encourage volunteers to sign up for more than two weeks to provide continuous support to these students.
