Schools reopened last year but students are still recovering from the effects of a year away from the classroom. Navigating the transition from virtual to in-person learning has been challenging, particularly for students who were already struggling in school. Students right now need an additional someone to help them improve their skills, particularly in reading.
The San Francisco Education Fund is recruiting volunteers to tutor our public school students in just that. By working one-on-one with a student, you can help them improve their reading ability and boost their confidence. Become a tutor and help elementary school children develop a love of reading, and inspire a new generation of learners!
Sign up for one of our next virtual trainings in January or February!

Mission Statement
The San Francisco Education Fund's programming focuses on one goal: improving student success in San Francisco public schools. Because no single effort can yield the results we seek, the Education Fund utilizes a multi-faceted approach focused on teachers, volunteers, students, and strategic partnerships. The Education Fund's ongoing research, policy and public engagement work spans all of our program areas.
Description
The San Francisco Education Fund believes that strong
public schools are critical to San Francisco's viability and that the community must take action to ensure their success. By acting as a bridge between the community and the classroom, the Education Fund increases the availability and impact of resources for students and teachers throughout San Francisco public schools.
Our integrated approach:
- supports teachers with training and resources to enhance their classroom practice;
- matches volunteer skills with teacher requests;
- engages students to create positive changes in their schools;
- unites families, service providers, businesses and others to build stronger school communities; and
- informs district policy through community input and strategic partnerships.
