A gift of attention

Each week for the last 14 years, Helen and Donald Debner have given their undivided attention for a solid hour to first graders at Passmore Elementary School. You can see them in action in this video from the Northside Independent School District.

 

Intergenerational Tutoring in San Antonio

Share your love of reading as you help a child develop
a positive self image and enthusiasm for learning.

The Intergenerational Tutoring Program, which started 15 years ago in San Antonio, pairs adults age 50 and older with children in grades K-4 to promote success in reading. Volunteers are needed to spend one hour a week with the same child throughout the school year.

  • No teaching experience is required
  • Free training is provided
  • Hours are flexible for vacations and appointments
  • Choose the school where you prefer to tutor

This is a great way to get involved in your community and help children get a better start in school. We are always interested in talking to new people interested in learning more about this opportunity. 

For more information please contact Gloria Jennings, program coordinator, at 210.256.2335.
