Just one hour a week helping a child develop reading skills can truly change a life.
"Loretta has gained so much confidence since we began working together this past year," says one tutor.
We have 132 tutors in 26 APS schools.
The lives of tutors are also enriched. Children give their tutors a feeling of connectedness, especially when their families live at a distance. Another tutor said: "I am surprised by how much I have gained by spending time with Rich."
Through the OASIS Intergenerational Tutoring program, volunteers, school districts and OASIS work together to help children build reading skills, self-esteem and positive attitudes toward learning. Training and materials are provided; no teaching experience is needed.
Tutors are assigned to an elementary school near their home where they work with one child, referred by the child's teacher, one hour each week for an entire school year.
