Greetings!
My names is Jeni Johnson. I’m privileged to work with Experience Corps Bay Area, a local literacy nonprofit. We tap the life experience of literacy volunteers, age 50+, to tutor elementary school children throughout the Bay Area. We need more volunteers to support our Oakland-based schools. Please reach out ASAP if you would like to help end the literacy crisis through some of the most rewarding work you will ever do. Some stipends are available.
Best, Jeni chjohnson@aspiranet.org
