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+ work with struggling students at four Tempe Elementary School District sites, providing literacy tutoring in kindergarten through third grade. Tutoring one-on-one occurs during the school day at three sites and during the Kid Zone after school enrichment program at two sites. Tutors are community members who have expressed an interest and willingness to make a difference in a child's life. Currently there are thirty six members..

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.
