Paper Airplanes is seeking undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and staff to serve as Virtual Volunteer Tutors for our upcoming semester.

- Select a recurring meeting day and time that works with their schedule
- Support learners using curriculum and resources provided by Paper Airplanes

Who We’re Looking For
We welcome undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty, and staff from a wide range of academic and professional backgrounds. Prior tutoring or teaching experience is not required.
This opportunity may be especially meaningful for individuals interested in education, international affairs, languages, social sciences, humanitarian work, nonprofit service, global studies, community engagement, or cross-cultural communication.
Why Volunteer?
Volunteering with Paper Airplanes provides an opportunity to make a direct impact while developing experience in tutoring, mentoring, intercultural communication, and global engagement.
