We
are looking for engaging and motivated graduate and undergraduate
students who want to make a difference to underrepresented youth in
Seattle. Starting this month, you can train to become a Seattle MESA math and science tutor for local middle and high school students.
WHO: Engaging
and motivated UW graduate and undergraduate students who want to work
with middle and high school students from underrepresented groups. We
are looking for students who want training and experience working in
local Seattle schools with a cohort of trained peers. MESA tutors must attend our fall MESA STEM Tutor Training
Basic Skills workshop, enroll in our 1 credit winter, weekly seminar

Seattle Public Schools. And in case you were wondering....STEM stands
for Science, Technology, Engineering/Environment and Math.
WHAT: Join the Seattle MESA Tutor Training Program. Seattle
MESA provides enrichment opportunities and high quality resources that
inspire students underrepresented in STEM fields, to pursue education
and careers in math, engineering and science (http://www.seattlemesa.org/). We are offering a tutor training
and certification for UW graduate and undergraduate students to work
with Seattle middle and high school students from underrepresented
groups in math and science.
1) MESA STEM Tutor Training. This is a 6 hour tutor skills
and cultural competency training designed to get you ready to work one
on one and in small groups with Seattle middle and high school students
in math and science.
2) Winter 1 credit seminar and service learning. This is a weekly, winter quarter seminar designed to enrich your tutoring skills and provide a cohort-based learning network through short readings, activities and discussions of your weekly tutoring experience.
