Super Saturdays

Volunteer as a tutor at Rees E. Price Academy on Saturdays in April! Super Saturdays tutors will work with students in grades 3 - 6 in reading and math. Volunteers meet at McMicken Circle (just west of University Pavlion near the fountain) at 8:30a and travel to Rees E. Price Academy together. Tutoring begins at 9:00a at the school. Reading and math will be the major focus of the day, and there will be a break for lunch. Lunch and transportation are provided!

Buddies Brainstorming

Cincinnati Public Schools are closed during the week of April 1 (no, this is not an April fools joke!). Instead of tuturing that week, Bearcat Buddies tutors will meet at the Center for Community Engagement during their regularly scheduled tutoring time to engage in conversations about their service experience, and brainstorm about how they can improve the program, and increase the collective impact on the community.

Snow Days and Road Conditions

Tutoring sessions may be canceled due to road conditions. While we hope unforseen cancelations are minimized, sessions may be canceled in the interest of safety. Please check local news sources for information regarding school closings and delays.

  • If Cincinnati Public Schools are closed, tutoring will be canceled.
  • If the University of Cincinnati is closed, tutoring will be canceled.
  • If Cincinnati Public Schools are on a delay, morning tutoring sessions will be canceled.
