Are you interested in helping students achieve their educational goals, but not sure online tutoring is right for you? Are you committed to equity in education and looking for a way to make a difference? Are you looking for remote volunteer opportunities that allow you to put your professional or hobby skills to good use? Then look no further than these online volunteer opportunities at UPchieve!

Why should you volunteer at UPchieve?

We have big goals here at UPchieve. After all, our mission is to democratize access to academic support, giving all students an equal opportunity to complete high school, attend college, and achieve upward mobility.

How do we plan to do this? By making free online tutoring available 24/7 to all low-income middle and high students in the United States by 2030. Our goal is to reach 8 million students by the beginning of the next decade! 

That’s why we need YOU! Not only do we need patient and understanding volunteer tutors to work with students one-on-one, but we also have a lot of work to do behind-the-scenes to make sure we reach as many students as possible. If online tutoring isn’t for you, virtual skills-based volunteering could be the perfect way for you to make a difference in the life of students!

Skills-based volunteering at UPchieve

Joining the volunteer team is a great way to shape UPchieve’s growth, develop valuable professional skills, and work behind the scenes to ensure we’re able to help as many students as possible.

All of our volunteer staff positions are unpaid, virtual (they can be done on your own schedule and from anywhere with an internet connection), and for immediate hire. Most positions require a commitment of 5-10 hours / week. Everyone is welcome to apply - from passionate undergrads to experienced professionals.

We review all applications on a rolling basis, and candidates selected for an interview will be contacted.
