Volunteer to Tutor A Student! BY TAYLOR C. SCHUBAUER
Lawyers for Learning is designed to assist our community’s young people in improving their academic performance, self-esteem, and self-confidence, primarily through one-on-one tutoring. In light of the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, we know that tutors are needed now more than ever. Tutoring is open to all members of the Erie County legal community, including judges, attorneys, legal secretaries, paralegals, law students, and retirees. This school year, tutoring will take place in the morning, from 8am to 9am, at Buffalo School #18, 750 West Avenue in Buffalo beginning the week of October 25, 2021. Tutoring is a one-hour-per-week commitment. You may also sign up to tutor with other colleagues if you want to share the weekly commitment. If you would like to volunteer to tutor a child, please visit www.lawyersforlearning.org to submit your application. We will work with tutors, students, and the school to address any questions and concerns and facilitate keeping this important program in place. For more information or questions, please contact the Lawyers for Learning tutoring coordinator, Taylor Schubauer, at lawyersforlearning@gmail.com or 716-235-2287. •
