Tutor Time is an outreach ministry held in conjunction with the Boys and Girls Club of Volusia and Flagler Counties.  Volunteers have been helping students learn for over six years.  Loving tutors share God’s love through their presence, smiles, compassion and knowledge with a young child.  Focus is on basic elementary skills in math, reading and writing.  The New Smyrna Beach club, located on the corner of Mary and Milford Streets, has 94 members of whom 72% are minority, 48% are from single parent or foster homes, and 89% qualify for federal lunch program.  This ministry reaches out to poor children in our community and is a visible expression of our church’s commitment to all races and income levels.  It is an outreach that extends beyond those persons in our pews.

Tutor Time was awarded the 2003-2004 Volunteer of the Year Award by the United Way of Volusia and Flagler Counties.  More tutors are always needed.  No experience is required---just a loving person with a caring heart.  Tutoring is held from 2-3:30p.m. on Monday and Thursday during the school year.  If two afternoons is too much, volunteers can share a student with another tutor.
