Volunteer Opportunity for Parents (as little as 1 hour per week)

Did you know that we live right next door to a school district where:

  • 88% of students come from socioeconomically disadvantaged households?
  • 46% of students are housing insecure?
  • 44% of students are more 3 grade levels below their current grade in Reading and Math?

Come to our information session on May 8th to learn how you can help tutor these students during the school day. Information here: https://www.ravenswoodclassroompartners.org/. RSVP via email to cristiana@ravenswoodclassroompartners.org. To see the impact from a current teacher's perspective, watch this 3-minute video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjPgulUmanA
