Volunteer tutors needed for Raise Your Hand
Did you know a child who does not read at a proficient level by third grade is 4 times more likely to not graduate high school on time when compared to a student who reads at a proficient level? That's why Raise Your Hand tutoring works with struggling students in second through fourth grade to help them build the skills they need for academic success. You can help. Become a Raise Your Hand tutor to help us remove barriers to learning.
