Literacy Tutors

Greater Cleveland Volunteers is seeking additional adults to serve as literacy tutors in the AARP Foundation Experience Corps literacy training program in the Euclid City School District.  

AARP Foundation Experience Corps is a proven program made up of volunteers who are dedicated to helping children become great readers before finishing third grade. The goal is to improve children’s literacy, strengthen communities and help develop cultures of inspiration in schools.

“We have found that both the students and tutors benefit from the program” Ross Jones, AARP Foundation Experience Corps program manager explains. “Students make progress from the personal academic assistance as well as the relationship that develops with their tutor. Volunteers benefit by being able to share their enjoyment of reading and their life experiences in order to make a difference in a child’s life.”
