Schools of Hope Informational Session
Schools of Hope provides
young children with tutors on a regular basis to increase reading
achievement in the early grades. Since October 2012, Schools of Hope
volunteers have provided over 1,500 hours of tutoring. During the spring
2013 semester, 168 volunteer tutors read with 257 students from 38
classrooms at four schools.
At least 300 tutors are needed to
work with students at Fratt, Giese, Janes, North Park, Olympia Brown,
Roosevelt, S.C. Johnson, and Wadewitz elementary schools in the fall of
2013.
In just one hour per week, you can make a difference in a child’s life! No previous experience is needed. Any
interested adult will be trained to tutor students in first through
third grade. Tutoring occurs during school hours. Learn how to become a
tutor by visiting www.unitedwayracine.org/tutor-interest-form or by contacting Jessica Safransky Schacht at 262-898-2251.
