We recognize how hard teachers and schools work to meet the needs of their learners. The pandemic and the move to distance learning has made that all the more challenging. The University of Minnesota wants to help! UMN students can serve as assistants to teachers, supporting students with assignments, providing language support to emerging bilingual students, participating in virtual break out rooms during synchronous classes, or mentoring students who struggle with motivation through distance learning.
Commitment to Partners
We recognize that a semester-long university schedule does not always align with the schedules of schools and community partners. As such, we commit to asking instructors for flexibility, to allow UMN students to keep the same placement from one semester to another, and to build consistency and community with our partners. In addition, partners are welcome to ask UMN students to extend their volunteer hours beyond the length of the course.
