Out of pocket expenses for service to a recognized charitable institution are deductible as a charitable contribution if you itemize.  I am assuming you are a parent.  Otherwise see other answer.

The Tax Reform and Jobs Act has eliminated the Miscellaneous section of the the Form 1040 Schedule A.  Employee expenses are no longer deductible.

However, if you are self-employed you can claim the amounts on a Form 1040 Schedule C as a business expense.
