At For Love of Children, tutors are the nucleus of our program. Our Volunteers serve as direct educational and emotional support to our students. Tutors work one-on-one with students in need of additional support in reading and/or math, going above and beyond traditional approaches. Tutors guide students through a structured curriculum at an individualized pace, ensuring they build fundamental skills while gaining confidence in their ability to overcome and educational obstacle.
This summer, we support Washington DC's most vulnerable youth by preventing the "summer learning slide" during these times of pandemic and educational resource shortages. With just 2 hours a week for 8 weeks, we can prevent learning loss and even make up for lost time by providing holistic one-on-one tutors to our students.
We provide all training and tools necessary for you to succeed with your student! Our curriculum is research-proven, robust, and user friendly! Sign up for as many time slots as you'd like and tutor in math, reading, or both!
There is no experience necessary, all we ask is our 8 week time commitment, patience, laughter, and a love for helping others.

Mission Statement
For Love of Children (FLOC) provides educational services beyond the classroom to help students succeed from first grade through college and career. We bring together students, volunteers, families, and community partners in proven programs that teach, empower, and transform.
Description
Here in our nation’s capital, barely half of DCPS youth graduate from high school. That shocking statistic only leads to more sobering numbers. According to the DC Alliance for Youth Advocates, there are over 14,000 young people in the District neither enrolled in school nor employed, and less than 42% of 20-24 year olds in DC have fulltime employment.
Everyday, FLOC is changing that statistic by providing opportunities for students to succeed in school, aspire to earn a postsecondary degree, and become contributing members of their communities. Unlike many other youth-serving programs, we provide a continuum of support that guides our students from first grade through completion of a postsecondary degree. Through our Neighborhood Tutoring Program, we intervene early to make sure that students do not fall further behind in reading or math. Building on those academic skills, our Scholars Program exposes our students to experiences, information and activities that build persistence skills to help them progress through their educational journey and into a chosen career.
