Mission Statement
Our mission at Reaching Heights is to mobilize community resources to foster highly valued public schools that provide all Cleveland Heights-University Heights (CHUH) students a successful education.
Description
Program components include volunteer recruiting, teacher and tutor orientation, scheduling, ongoing support and focused evaluation. All of our Villages work to provide sufficient volunteer assistance to teachers and students, and share a commitment to our three program expectations. We believe tutoring should be productive, motivating and satisfying for students, teachers and volunteers. While parents form the backbone of each school’s academic volunteer corps, we welcome and celebrate participation from our local community members.
Volunteers can give as much at 1 hour, three times a week or as little as one half-hour one time a week. Whatever our volunteers can contribute, it is a much needed valuable addition and quite often a fun opportunity to make a lasting difference and feel immediate rewards. The old adage is true: It really does take a village to raise a child. So come, volunteer and become a part of ours!
