The purpose of this guidance is to provide HEI partners with ideas for how to engage K-12 students more broadly with the HEI community. This list is curated from practices shared by current HEI tutoring programs in local K-12 districts. Depending on the design of your program and your HEI campus, some of these ideas may be more relevant to your context than others.
- Invite tutees to participate in campus tours
- Host student athlete “Meet and Greets”
- Host an on-campus Read-a-Thon - this can also serve as a fundraising project
- Invite tutees to on-campus seasonal programming
- Invite tutees to attend an on-campus movie night with snacks/pizza
- Invite participating K-12 schools to partner with the HEI on service/volunteer projects (e.g., food drive)
- Host an on-campus day outside with yard games
- Invite tutees to attend an HEI sporting event
