The Stamford Public Education Foundation is looking for volunteers to work with students in the Stamford schools. This is a wonderful opportunity to gain experience in the field of education and network with members of the community. We offer programs every day of the week for a little as 40 minutes. There are a number of students who need a caring adult to support them throughout their studies, and you have the chance to make a difference by getting involved in one of our programs.

At the elementary level, the Foundation supports literacy initiatives and at the middle and high school levels our focus is on college and career readiness.

The Stamford Public Education focuses its efforts on improving literacy skills in elementary school students and preparing middle and high school students for post secondary success in college or career training.
Our programs include: The Stamford Mentoring Program, Everybody Wins! Power Lunch, LIFE Tutoring, Reading is Fundamental, and college preparation for high school students through Naviance Family Connection.
The Stamford Mentoring Program partners college and corporate volunteers with middle and high school students for weekly one-on-one mentoring sessions that focus on the program's four main objectives: goal setting, academic engagement, extracurricular involvement, and college and career readiness.
