Tutoring at Harriet Lane Clinic — Volunteers are needed for the tutoring program serving patients of the Harriet Lane Clinic, which is the general pediatrics outpatient center on the East Baltimore medical campus, during the spring semester. Tutoring is conducted in math and reading with the intent to boost each child’s skills up to grade level. Materials are provided, and tutors are supported by knowledgeable staff and faculty. Times are 4 to 6 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays, and the clinic can be reached from Bayview and Homewood by the JHU shuttle. One two-to-three-hour training session is required. Tutors must have at least a GED or high-school diploma, take a TB test (or have a negative X-ray taken after Nov. 1) and get a copy of their measles, mumps and rubella test record (if born after Jan. 1, 1957). To volunteer or for more information, contact Robyn Nuttall at rnuttal1@jhmi.edu.
