Learning Home Volunteers is working on ending the disparity between kindergarten readiness in underserved communities versus those with more resources. Children from low-income backgrounds are 2x more likely to enter kindergarten behind and stay behind.
We offer a free program to help families and their children, ages 2 - 5, to prepare for kindergarten. We need help reaching these families and are looking for your help in helping us post flyers. Teams will go out into East Palo/East Menlo Park and North Oak area of Redwood City and post flyers.
If you have a couple of hours on your extra day, help us reach families that need us. Help their child get an equal start at school.

Mission Statement
Learning Home Volunteers' mission is to improve educational outcomes for low-income children by transforming their home into a center of learning and their parents into agents of change for their child's educational growth.
Description
20% of the nation's children live in poverty. This effects their educational outcomes. 70% of them enter school unprepared. 50% will read at below grade level throughout their schooling. 30% will eventually drop out of high school. In our community the situation is even worse: 80% enter school unprepared and 73% are reading below grade level at 3rd grade. After 3rd grade, all learning is book based making it difficult to keep up if you can't read well.
Our program works with parents to help them prepare their child for kindergarten. Through training they learn how to support their child's learning through the use of learning materials design, built, and packaged by our experts. We are changing outcomes for under-served communities in San Mateo County. Joins us. Change the future - one child at a time!
