Inscription des bénévoles au programme APIE

APIE volunteer registration for Math Classroom Coaching and Mentoring opens on August 20, 2024.

APIE volunteer registration closes in early March. This provides students with consistency, so they have a higher number of sessions with the same volunteer.

Our Math Classroom Coaching program currently supports middle school math classes at four Austin ISD campuses. 

Historically, our Mentoring program has supported all Austin ISD students from kindergarten through 12th grade. However, beginning in the 2020-21 school year, we have transitioned to 6th through 12th grades. If you have any questions about elementary mentoring, please contact David Torres, AISD’s Mentoring Coordinator at (512) 414-0544 or david.torres@austinisd.org.

Our programming takes place during the school day. For Math Classroom Coaching, classes take place in the mornings and afternoons during math class. Volunteers are able to choose the class time that works best with their schedule. 

For Mentoring, sessions usually take place during the student’s lunch time or advisory/homeroom period. These times will vary depending on the campus. 

We do not have campus volunteer opportunities after school or on the weekends.

No, we are unable to provide our volunteers with transportation to and from Austin ISD campuses.

After signing up to volunteer, you will receive a confirmation email. Once your background check has been processed and you are approved, you will receive an email about attending a volunteer training. 

After completing training, Math Classroom Coaches will begin volunteering. They will receive weekly communication from their Math Classroom Coaching Coordinator. 

After attending the orientation, mentors will be connected with the Mentor Coordinator at their selected school. The coordinator will determine which student to pair with you and reach to schedule the first mentor session. 

Yes, you will need to sign up each year for Math Classroom Coaching and Mentoring volunteer opportunities. 

We recommend that mentors commit to an entire school year to provide consistency for students. We  prefer that Math Classroom Coaches commit to an entire school year. However, if a Math Classroom Coach can only commit to one semester (fall or spring), please sign up anyway!

For Math Classroom Coaching, please contact our Math Classroom Coaching Coordinator, Sandy Bootz, at sbootz@austinpartners.org. 

For Mentoring, please contact our School Connections Manager, Wen Nguyen, at wnguyen@austinpartners.org.
