Jasper's Corner Homework Club

Those interested in becoming a Jasper's Corner tutor will complete an application at the beginning of the semester in which they would like to participate in the program. After the application is submitted, the Children's Programs Graduate Assistant will contact the applicant to schedule a Zoom group interview. 

The Graduate Assistant will conduct a 30 minute Zoom group interview to determine if the applicant will be an effective tutor for the children in the program. The Graduate Assistant will contact the applicant within one week of the interview regarding the status of their application. 

In order to verify that the college tutors have clear credentials to serve with the Jasper's Corner program, the names of each applicant are run through the Student Affairs Office for a university/disciplinary check as well as a background check with Sterling Volunteers. After an applicant is formally offered the tutor position and placed in a designated tutoring location, they must complete and submit their background check and mandated reporter training to the Director of Children's Programs within five days of receiving them. 

After the background check and mandated reporter training are submitted, the tutor must attend additional tutor training facilitated by the Student Directors. The training will educate tutors on their role and responsibilities as well as the daily activities of the program. 

Once a tutor completes their training with the Student Directors, they can officially participate in the Jasper's Corner program.
