Do you plan on attending med-school or dental-school? Do you need community service hours for your application? Did you know that most medical and dental school admissions directors recommend 100-200 community service hours in order to stand out on an application? 

This organization allows students who are busy and have had a hard time finding community service hours during COVID to record as many community service hours as desired while working around individual schedules!

The Big Little Empowerment Program empowers struggling k-12 students in the community by providing free, weekly, online, 1-on-1 tutoring sessions from volunteer Miami students that have been properly screened and trained.

They are looking for 10 students to join the club’s board of directors. Within 2 years they will achieve 501c3 status, and will work the remainder of this semester and over the summer to prepare the pilot program for a fall 2021 start date. Check out their business plan for more information on board member positions. If you’re not interested in becoming a board member you can still be one of the first 6 tutors that will start fall of 2021!

If you need community service hours, this is the way to go. You will have a big advantage over your peers if you can show grad schools that you have a large commitment to community service. After all, medicine is primarily service. You will be helping the community your entire career so it’s important you are committed to it! All that aside, you will be directly impacting the life of a struggling student! You can build their self-confidence and change their life! 

Does tutoring seem daunting? Don’t worry, we have a professional tutor that will train you and answer any questions you may have. 

Don’t want to tutor but like the program? Apply for a spot on the board of directors and you can help build something amazing that will help the community for years to come!
