Contact Adelina Zottola: 480-965-8431 or service.learning@asu.edu
 

Tutor and mentor K-8th grade children in an after-school or morning tutoring program, engaging the children in fun learning activities focused on reading, math, and other academic subjects. The pre/corequisite course, SOC 101, allows students to examine sociological issues within the context of "real world" experiences gained through this internship. Brief reflective writing assignments help you process and learn from your experience. No exams. May be taken for honors credit via Honors College contract.

No experience is necessary. Training is provided. Some internship sites require a full background-check and fingerprinting, at no cost to student. Fee ($25-applies to transportation costs).

IMPORTANT: SOC 294 does not satisfy the General Studies Cultural Diversity requirement. If you wish to satisfy this requirement, you should enroll in UNI 402 or any of the Science & Math internships (except for UNI 484 and MSE 484).

This internship course is a section of the After-Shool or Morning Tutoring Service Learning internship and, except for the SOC 101 pre/corequisite requirement, has the same course requirements and procedures as the other sections (UNI 402 and SPA 294). Please review the After-School or Morning Tutoring Internship description for further details.

SCHEDULE OPTIONS are the same as for the UNI 402 After-School or Morning Tutoring Service Learning Internship. Hours listed already include 30-minutes travel time at beginning and end of timeframe. Transportation from the Tempe campus is available.

OPTIONAL: If you'll be enrolling in ENG 102, consider also enrolling in a special Service Learning section of ENG 102, in addition to the SOC 294 internship.
