Roadmap for Tutors
Sprout and S.T.E.M. has tailored a roadmap to support tutors who are interested in joining the organization throughout their undergraduate study. This roadmap showcases how students can become progressively more involved, if they so choose, by taking on more substantial roles and learning each level of the organization along the way.
After serving as a tutor in years one and two, you will have the opportunity to design and conduct an independent research project in year three as a research assistant.
By year four, you serve the organization as an intern and earn academic credit through your institution's experiential learning department. On a part-time basis, you would lead as an administrator or coordinator, overseeing important activities such as the tutoring or research programs. In doing so, you become eligible to apply for a seat on the organization's Board of Directors.

As you become more involved and take on new roles, you will further develop important core competencies, such as Cultural Competence and Critical Thinking, that will result in personal growth and the maturation of new perspectives.
Moreover, Sprout and S.T.E.M. provides a number of unique experiences and valuable talking points for interviews with employers or admissions committees. A large proportion of our team is represented by pre-medical and pre-dental students who are taking a creative approach to building their applications. In recent years, this strategy has proven effective as nearly two dozen former staff members have been accepted to medical, dental, and graduate schools.
