EXPERIENCE CORPS BAY AREA is a time-tested, innovative, inter-generational tutoring and mentoring program that has served local schools and students since 1998. Our volunteers are all over the age of 50 and help students in grades K-3 gain the reading skills needed to succeed in school. No previous teaching or classroom experience is required as we provide all volunteers with the background and training needed to succeed.

4 hours per week makes a difference. We are now offering monthly stipends to eligible volunteers that serve 10+hours per week.

We serve students in Berkeley, Oakland, San Francisco, South San Francisco, Daly City, and Atherton.

No RSVP is required to join an info session.
