You can make a lasting difference for children and schools by building critical literacy skills
Are you 50 years and over? Do you enjoy reading with Children? Do you want to make an impact within your community?
AARP Foundation Experience Corps is a proven inter generational volunteer-based tutoring program that helps children become great readers by the end of third grade. We inspire and empower adults 50 and older to serve in their community and disrupt the cycle of poverty by making a lasting difference in the lives of America's most vulnerable children. By helping young students become better readers, Experience Corps seeks to ensure a lasting legacy of strong futures, supported schools, and empowered volunteers.
Our program provides support to school administrators and helps ensure volunteer success through training, peer networks, and ongoing evaluation - without any added burden to schools.
SACRAMENTO AREA SCHOOL DISTRICTS SERVED IN THE PROGRAM:
- The Center (City of Sacramento)
- Sacramento City Unified School District
If you are interested in volunteering with the Sacramento City Unified School District, you can register online or call to sign up! (916) 370-8720
