Mission Statement
Empowering Children Bay Area (ECBA), recruits, trains and places older adults (50+) into elementary schools for literacy tutoring. We have sites in Marin San Francisco and Sonoma. Onboarding entails a fingerprinting process and a quick zoom training. Help bring children up to grade level all the while meeting peers and enjoying a community of tutors with like minds and interests. Check out our website at sequoialiving.org/kids.
Description
Experience Corps Bay Area in partnership with Sequoia Living and AARP Experience Corps is an inter-generational volunteer-based tutoring program that is proven to help children who aren't reading at grade level become great readers by the end of third grade. We inspire and empower adults 50 and older to serve in their community and disrupt the cycle of poverty by making a lasting difference in the lives of America's most vulnerable children.

Working as a volunteer with young school children and teachers in San Rafael's elementary schools has been one of the most fulfilling experiences in my life! Experience Corps is one of the most 'hands on' organizations I have ever worked with.... they continuously seek to create community among the volunteers, offer ongoing training, and work to ensure that your skills and needs are matched with the best volunteer opportunities.
