Apply to join the Freshman Forum and develop leadership skills that will last a lifetime. Volunteer to lend a hand and support one of our many community service projects.

The concept behind tutoring services at Jacksonville State University is to model high-quality, practical academic skills, provide content-specific supplemental instruction, and create a connection to the institution. Tutors must combine their content knowledge with empathy, honesty, hard work, humility, and humor. A tutor should possess a passion for the teaching and learning process. A tutor's goal is to help students LEARN to help themselves and assist or guide students to the point at which they become independent learners.
