Take chances. If someone starts telling you about how hard a certain subject is, offer to help study. Or if you overhear about someone's poor grades, find a way to be a homework partner.

   Sign up. Programs such as "Big brother, big sister" are very respectable. Many kids lives and confidence are improved thanks to volunteers. In high school, optional classes such as mentoring are given. Find a way to get it on your schedule. If not, then your community library or church may have one.

   Be seen. Finding opportunities to help special ed children or assisting the teachers will put out the word of your work. Do a good job and truly care.

   Do it yourself. Sometimes there isn't a place for you. Make posters or somehow announce that you have a date, time, and location set up for people to meet if they would be willing to accept help. Confirm that it is free of charge (or not). Be ready with necessary supplies/knowledge so you can explain to them how to do certain assignments.
