How do you start a volunteer tutoring service?

I want to find a big way to volunteer and I live in an area where a lot of kids drop out so I want to get a free tutoring service where high school kids volunteer to tutor other high school kids in all kinds of subjects. Do you think it's to big of a task or that no one will volunteer? I need some insight. How should I get started?

Post a flyer on your school bulletin board and/or school website, and see what kind of interest level there is for your idea. Managing a volunteer program certainly has the potential to become a large task; organizing and pairing volunteers with students could become time-consuming if the program really takes off. You can always recruit some volunteers to help you manage it, however, and staying organized by using a computer program like Microsoft Excel might simplify things somewhat. I'm impressed with your ambition and desire to help Others; it reflects maturity and self-awareness, as well as an awareness of the world around you. Good luck!
