Now recruiting volunteers in the Denver/Aurora area for the 2012-2013 school year!

Early literacy impacts all aspects of a child's life from academic performance across subject areas to self-confidence and enthusiasm for learning. A child's third grade reading scores can predict with 70% accuracy the likelihood they will graduate from high school. The power of your one-on-one attention and caring can make an incredible difference.

Reading Partners provides an opportunity and a space for volunteers from the community to give a fraction of their time each week to tutor an elementary school student one-on-one in reading using a structured and easy-to-follow curriculum.

With just 1 hour a week, you can make a huge difference in the lives of children who have fallen behind in reading and are at risk of falling further. One-on-one instruction at the student's reading level provides the opportunity for individualized academic attention and a healthy learning relationship with you, the volunteer. Volunteers are, in turn, supported at all times by Reading Partners school site coordinators and staff.

Tutoring will begin in early September 2012. We encourage interested volunteers to sign up through our website, as we will be emailing reminders and updates to potential tutors over the summer.

Pick any 1-hour time slot that's convenient for you between 9am and 5pm, Monday through Thursday (you are welcome to help more if able).

Are you good at math and like working with teenagers? If so, Colorado Youth for a Change (CYC) is the organization for you. We are looking for tutors to help students like Manny: CYC Educational Intervention Coordinator, Erica Legrand, began working with 16 year old Manny during the 2011 fall semester at Centaurus High School in Boulder Valley School District. Manny has been disengaged in school since his freshman year. This student’s social environments were plagued with negative influences such as street gangs and disruptive behaviors. Throughout the semester, this sophomore student maintained a failing average of 20 percent in his Literature class due to struggles with reading and writing. Erica and Manny’s Academic Support Teacher noticed those barriers and began to advocate for Manny. Fueled by their support, Manny became encouraged and was determined to rise to the challenge. Not only did Manny finish the semester with a 75 percent average in his Literature class, but he received a grade of "C" or better in all of his courses. Today, Manny is re-engaged in school and is making plans for a life of success. His career goal is to become a computer engineer. Academically motivated, Manny is enrolled in an engineering class and is performing well. Please help Colorado Youth for a Change to continue to help youth like Manny (ages 14-18) through tutoring in core subjects such as math. High School tutors are needed Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Wednesdays from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. at Centaurus High School in Lafayette Colorado. Volunteers are committed to doing one hour a day, at least one day per week until 5/23/2012 (end of the school year).
