Normandy School Collaborative is seeking Volunteer Literacy Tutors to work with students at the High School and 7th & 8th Grade Center. We're seeking volunteers with a personal love of reading, a couple hours of availability each week, dedicated consistency and a willingness to learn a few new strategies.

Volunteers allow one-on-one individualized attention to students struggling with reading skills. Why focus on reading? Without the ability to read at grade level, students are in a perpetual struggle to understand all textbooks and assignments. Without it, students are defined by what they can't do versus what they can do. By helping to build a foundation of reading skills, academic success in all subject areas in an achievable goal.

What participants say
“There are times when we don’t have money to have food on our table, so the bag of food that I can get from the Clinics helps us a lot…especially in winter when my husband can’t find work and because I am not working because of back issues. “(translated from Spanish) –Lucia Rodas, community member

“…many people don’t know where to go for support and help… The Clinic is an ideal place to get medical help and a place to learn about other resources that can help patients’ health, like the Health Hubs.” –Carole Hirokane, Clinics patient
