Nearly two out of 3 DC students read below grade level or have other academic or non-academic needs. DCTMI is looking for volunteer tutors and mentors to help our 50+ partner organizations to get students the support they need to succeed. We need volunteers during the school day, on weekdays after school (3:30-5:30), and in the evenings and on weekends. Our partners serve elementary, middle and high school students in the District as well as in adjacent counties.
With as little as one hour per week, you could make a significant difference in the life of a child. DCTMI will match you with one of our partners based on when you are available, the age of the students you want to work with, and your special interests or skills.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide a tutor or mentor for the 60,000+ students reading below grade level or in need of additional academic or non-academic support in the District of Columbia and, in the process, create a stronger civic culture where we all take more responsibility for one another and for the community as a whole.
Description
We work with 50 partner tutoring and mentoring organizations and schools to help recruit volunteers for them. The foundation for our work is one-on-one canvassing and "civic conversations" with people at farmers markets and other public events and spaces: Only 31% of students in DC are reading at grade level. Teachers, schools and volunteer organizations can't fix education by themselves. Any time of day or day of the week, we are likely to have partner organizations that need help in neighborhoods that are readily accessible to potential volunteers. If we all take a little more responsibility -- typically 2 hours a week -- we can begin to transform educational outcomes and create a model for other communities trying to find shared purposes to bridge the divisions of class, race, and ideology.
