[Publib] what to call volunteer homework helpers

We have a program where high school students (mostly) and some adults volunteer in our libraries to help younger students with homework.  We have always called the program, and the volunteers, "Homework Helpers"

We are retooling the program, trying to expand the reach, redo the publicity, recruit new volunteers including more adults, and rebrand the service.

If you have a similar program what do you call it?  And what do you call the volunteers?  Is there a catchy title we are missing?

Also, do you give the volunteers a badge, a vest, or something else to wear indicating they are here to help with homework, or do they just wear whatever your other volunteers wear?

Thanks!
Hillary
