Total Restoration Transformation Center provides a free, low-cost Summer Reading Camp to at-risk youth. Many of our students' parents are justice-involved or they are being raised by a legal guardian. We are in need of volunteer teachers or tutors who will provide instructional support in both reading and mathematics for students in grades K–12 during a summer enrichment camp. The role includes leading academic activities, working with students individually or in small groups, and collaborating with camp staff to create a fun, safe, and educational environment.

We’re excited to invite you to join us as a volunteer for our 2025 Summer Reading Camp, running from June 2 – July 25 at 400 N. Pine Hills Road, Suite 190, Orlando, FL 32811.

We’re currently seeking:

  • Volunteer Tutors
  • Volunteer Teachers
  • One-time Helpers

📅 Camp Schedule: Monday – Friday | 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

Whether you’re passionate about literacy, love working with kids, or just want to give back to the community this summer — we’d love your help!
