What are the commitments of Dare 2 Soar tutors?

- Attend an orientation session.
- Obtain Act 153 Clearances (see below).
- Commit to tutoring at least once a week on a regular schedule and at their assigned site.
- While students are only required to commit to one semester, we strongly encourage tutors to commit to at least one full academic year.
How do I obtain Act 153 Clearances?
We have created detailed instructions on how to complete Act 153 Clearances for the Dare 2 Soar program. Questions about completing clearances can be directed to Sandra Briggs-Edwards (sbriggs1); questions about specific requirements for Dare 2 Soar can be directed to Ashley Henry (ahenry1).
