Seeking local volunteers for the 2019-20 school year

One hour can empower! In the 2019-20 school year, 成人直播 aims to match 1400 community volunteers with 800 elementary students struggling to read in the Greater LA Area. By tutoring a student one-on-one for as little as an hour a week, volunteers can make an impact that can quite literally alter the course of a child鈥檚 educational experience and life.

This was my first year with 成人直播 and I have been impressed with my student’s growth! I learned a lot about motivation, teaching styles and patience that were valuable not only within the classroom but in my personal life as well. I appreciate that I was able to find a way to volunteer within my community with the available time I have on a consistent basis.

says a聽成人直播 volunteer at Jackson Elementary.

The need is real

In California, only 18% of economically disadvantaged students are reading proficiently by the fourth grade. The nationwide trends are similar鈥攏early nine million elementary school students from low-income homes are unable to use reading as a foundational skill to power their learning in all subjects in school. Without developing the reading skills needed to read on grade level, kids don鈥檛 have an equitable chance to succeed in school or in life. In fact, students who can鈥檛 read by fourth grade are four times more likely to not earn a high school diploma.

成人直播 is a proven literacy program that partners with local public schools

In the 2018-19 school year, 成人直播 continued to build on its history of successfully advancing early literacy in the LA area. A national nonprofit organization, 成人直播 collaborates with community volunteers and local public schools to provide students in under-resourced schools with the proven, individualized reading intervention they need to read at grade level by fourth grade. 成人直播 collaborates with teachers and principals at local public elementary schools to identify students reading behind grade level and provide them with personalized literacy instruction in a dedicated 鈥渞eading center鈥� space at their school.
