Tutoring During the Pandemic
It has been extremely difficult for some students to transition to learning at home. Through a partnership with United Way and Vello we plan to offer summer reading coaches via an online program to help students avoid academic setbacks.
Introducing Virtual Reading Mentors
Our new virtual opportunity will pair a reading volunteers with a student to improve their literacy skills online.
Virtual Reading Mentors is an innovative, 1:1 tutoring program from Vello and United Way that matches a tutor with a first to third-grade student for guided reading support.
Volunteers tutor a student in reading through a safe and secure digital setting. Together, students and tutors read e-books using super simple screen sharing and audio. You can even reward the student with a "virtual" star for a job well done!
These 20 minute sessions can be conducted from any computer, tablet or smart phone.
Summer sessions will be scheduled in the coming weeks and volunteers who are signed up will be contacted and scheduled.

Do you have an interesting career?
We are in the process of creating a library of career presentations that teachers can access to provide their students with inspiration and hope over the summer months. If you have a career in any of the STEM fields, the arts or trades, we would love to create a zoom recording of your journey. Please contact Janet Murphy to learn more.
