Opportunity Details

Tutor - UW Odyssey Project

Opportunity:
Tutor an adult UW Odyssey Project student in writing, reading, math, science, or filling out applications.

Who we are:
UW Odyssey Project offers University of Wisconsin-Madison humanities classes for adult students facing economic barriers to college. The majority of students who participate in the UW-Odyssey Project are from racial and ethnic minority groups (typically over 90%). Many are overcoming the obstacles of single parenthood, homelessness, drug and alcohol addiction, incarceration, depression, and domestic abuse. Odyssey students report transformative outcomes, and some have even moved from homelessness to bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Students report that they read more themselves and to their children, feel that they are better parents and advocates for their children in school, have more hope about their own futures, are more likely to vote and become involved in their communities, and have continued their educations and sought job training.
