    Just wondering if anyone knew of sort of a programme where a Trinity student could give free grinds/help a Leaving Cert student from a disadvantaged background in their area of study?

    I've read about the VTP, Voluntary Tuition Programme, that does exactly that. I think it might have been in the 'clubs/societies pimp your wares' thread, but I'm not entirely sure! You'll surely find some stuff in the societies section of the college website as well!!

    I volunteered for the VTP and it was excellent. Coming from a disadvantaged background myself, I always encourage people to join.

    The S2S, on the other hand, is a waste of time.

    Hi,

    The chair of VTP here. Just to let you know that to sign up to be a tutor YOU MUST COME TO OUR FRESHERS STAND beside the free pizza to sign up. Our website is completely out of date and we are in the process of trying to bring it back to life. If you want to be a tutor or want more information email me on vtaccess@tcd.ie.

    Thanks.:D
