What People Are Saying

"I have thoroughly enjoyed being a volunteer. The students loved the special attention and time I was able to give them. I am overwhelmed by the impact this program has made upon each child...It truly has been a rewarding experience, one I will always remember."
— Betty Lewis, tutor and classroom volunteer, Montgomery Elementary School

"I owe this student's academic improvement to his tutor. He was a difficult student, but he would actually look forward to tutoring."
— Teacher, Webb Elementary School

"Mentors don't want to just go in there and feel good. We give the kids a sense that they can do something with their lives."
— Jon Gundersen, mentor, Birney Elementary School

"Working with the children during these past five years has been both challenging and rewarding. When a child asks, 'Will you be my tutor again?' for the second or even third year, it is gratifying. When that child achieves measurable success in reading and general deportment, it is doubly gratifying."
— Nathalie Black, tutor, Bowen Elementary School

"My tutor is wonderful to me. I love to come to tutoring, really!"
— Second grade student, West Elementary School
