Mission Statement
Innovations for Learning is a nonprofit organization committed to improving literacy outcomes of young students in under-resourced schools by connecting the classroom to the community.
Description
We are committed to improving literacy outcomes of primary grade students in under-resourced schools. Our flagship program, TutorMate, offers a unique opportunity for local volunteers to help students practice reading through weekly, online reading sessions. The consistent connection with a nurturing and friendly tutor not only helps students reach grade-level literacy, but also fosters self-esteem, confidence, and a joy for reading.
TutorMate is changing the literacy landscape in 27 major metropolitan school districts in the United States and, as of 2018, in London, UK and Toronto, Canada.
