Mission Statement

The group of volunteers mostly consists of very sweet retired teachers and older college-aged teens that help elementary kids needing extra guidance in reading and writing. There is very kind atmosphere that helps you develop as a volunteer and by the end you'll grow fond of every child in the program.
