The Experience Corps program in Minneapolis/St. Paul is hosted by Volunteers of America of Minnesota. Older adults provide literacy tutoring in kindergarten through third grade classrooms. Tutors are community members who work with students one-on-one or in small groups under supervision of the classroom teacher. They get great personal satisfaction in working with the children and providing a vital service to their community and the national literacy movement.
The mission of Volunteers of America of Minnesota is to provide opportunities which will make a significant, lasting impact in the lives of our program participants, and to elicit community support for our program participants.
