Why Volunteer?
Flexible Community Service Hours

All hours spent buying (pre-approved) materials, preparing lessons, teaching, and attending our
camps are hours eligible for community service hours. As most high schools have a minimum
requirement for service hours, you can fulfill all the hours needed for your high school by
attending one camp. And you can choose however many hours and commitment you want to
put into MASE — making hours extremely flexible.
Gain Valuable Experience

Volunteering at MASE provides tutors with valuable teaching, public speaking, and
communication experience. Teaching at camps also allows tutors to spread love for topics that
they are passionate in to younger students. In addition to this, involved members of MASE are
encouraged to apply to be on the MASE officer team, where members gain leadership,
communication, and community experience.
President's Volunteer Service Award

The PVSA is a nationally-recognized, prestigious award issued by the CNCS for
US citizens who volunteer a certain amount of hours throughout a 12-month period. As most of
our camps involve a lot of preparation, involved members generally serve enough hours to be
receive the PVSA. Members can receive this award through MASE — and we handle most of
the paperwork, too. Find out more about PVSA
