Mission Statement
VIllage Book Builders (VBB) is dedicated to eradicating the cycle of poverty through quality access to education and support. We accomplish this through a three-pillar framework: Infrastructure, Education, and Mentorship.
Description
We build and operate libraries at the request of communities in need, providing them with all the tools necessary for academic achievement. We know that there is an incredible need for quality education in developing countries due to factors such as teacher absenteeism, high teacher-to-student ratios, lack of school infrastructure and more. By helping communities foster learning cultures designed to create independent learners, we help empower the next generation. Together, with your help, we can reach more students.
We are looking for fluent English or Spanish speakers with a passion for children and education.
As a mentor, your task is to help encourage our students on their academic journey through online mentoring. Mentors spend one hour per week meeting online with their students, helping them with reading and reading comprehension. The goal is to build a lasting relationship with your student, encouraging them to stay in school and pursue their dreams.
