"It's like a job. You have goals. You see results" -Yuriy, Experience Corps Member

Experience Corps Tempe The Experience Corps program in Tempe is hosted by the City of Tempe Community Services Department, Social Services Division, and sponsored by the Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust. Adults ages 50+ tutor students in kindergarten through third grade at selected Tempe Elementary School District sites in both the classroom and the after-school programs. Tutors are community members who have expressed an interest and willingness to make a difference in a child's life.

City of Tempe Social Services Division provides comprehensive services to residents and families. The programs offered to Tempe residents are varied and include: counseling, Care 7 crisis response services, youth prevention programs, adult diversion, Kid Zone after school enrichment program, and two comprehensive neighborhood multi-generational centers. The City of Tempe has hosted Experience Corps in Tempe since 2006.

"In the 21st century, the best anti-poverty program around is a world-class education. And in this country, the success of our children cannot depend more on where they live than on their potential."

-President Obama, "State of the Union," January 27, 2010
"Together, we can continue our commitment to education innovation by investing in Experience Corps, a program that helps elementary students by increasing the number of older adult tutors and mentors in the classroom. Independent research shows that Experience Corps works: Third-grade reading and math scores are rising and students feel safer at school."

-Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, State of the City Speech, February 22, 2010
