Are you looking for a way to volunteer with kids in DC? Check out Reading All-Stars!
Founded by TFA alumni in 2009, Reading All-Stars is a one-on-one reading tutoring program in DCPS. This spring, we started at our third school, HD Cooke Elementary where 41% are English Learners, and only 34% were proficient in reading in SY13-14. At our previous school, students made 30% greater reading gains than the rest of the school. We are looking for more volunteers to keep up the momentum.
Saturday, September 12th, 10am-1pm - Fall Orientation
HD Cooke Elementary School
2525 17th St. NW (at Euclid St., near 18th/ Columbia)
Washington, DC 20009
Metro: Adams-Morgan (red) or Columbia Heights (green/yellow)
We meet Saturday mornings, and you'd be paired with a K-5 student who's 1-2 grade levels behind, helping them improve on targeted reading skills. No literacy or elementary experience needed. We're off on holiday weekends and have subs for occasional absences... you can even "share" a student with another volunteer. Can/t make the 9/12 orientation? There will be others.
In addition to reading volunteers, we are looking for Young Ed Professionals to help out as program coordinators as we prepare for our HD Cooke program kickoff this fall. Coordinators recruit and train volunteers, analyze student data, plan reading skill workshops, and work with parents, students, teachers, and principal to make the program run. Email jonathan.elkin@gmail.com to learn more.
Thanks so much for your continued commitment to kids!
Sincerely,
Jon Elkin
Co-Founder, Reading All-Stars program
