2020/2021 Impact
Pairing active older-adult volunteer tutors with vulnerable at-risk youth allows us to have a profound impact on the challenges facing both young and old—bringing them together to create better and brighter futures for themselves and our community.
“The program has higher attendance rates than the school. The students love having that one-on-one time with their tutors and it motivates them to log-in and participate. And the fact that they get their own books is amazing!”
“The model is incredibly effective, especially during the pandemic.”
“The fact is, this year has been devastating for our students, who prior to the pandemic were struggling with literacy. We have 5th graders reading at a 2nd grade-level and 84% of our 4th graders are below grade-level in reading. We want and need this program. If we can get more, we’ll take it. We have no shortage of students who will benefit.”
