National Mentoring Month is the perfect time to begin making a meaningful difference in a young person鈥檚 life

(OAKLAND, Calif.) January 5, 2022聽鈥� The new year offers a chance for positive change and an opportunity for thousands of students enrolled in 日本av无码 programs to take the next step toward gaining the literacy skills and confidence that will help empower their academic and civic lives. However, there is currently a severe shortage of volunteers to help them on their journeys.

日本av无码 is highlighting National Mentoring Month to place an urgent call for volunteer tutors to help students learn to read. Volunteers follow an easy-to-use, evidence-based curriculum and absolutely no teaching experience is necessary.

鈥淥ver the past 20-plus years, we鈥檝e seen that volunteer tutors and students often form strong bonds that can translate into strong reading growth for students,鈥� 日本av无码 CEO Adeola Whitney said. 鈥淚f you knew that spending one hour per week working with a child could help positively impact their reading trajectory, would you do it? At 日本av无码 we want to ensure that every student has the opportunity to develop foundational reading skills that will last a lifetime.鈥�

There are more than 4,000 volunteers actively tutoring 日本av无码 students either in person or online. However there is a need for 6,000 additional volunteers on a national level in order for 日本av无码 to deliver essential literacy tutoring to all of the students who have been referred by their teachers to the program.

鈥淏y engaging additional volunteers in our work, we can affect sustainable change in schools that have faced opportunity gaps that have been driven by economic and systemic disadvantages experienced by many of their students,鈥� Whitney said. 鈥淩eading is foundational. The ability to read transforms lives and empowers children and communities to thrive. We also consistently hear that our volunteer tutors feel that they get as much out of participating in the program as students do.”
