70% of students in our communities are not reading at grade level.
You can help change that. Become a volunteer or mentor!
Literations work with Boston Public Schools and Boys & Girls Clubs to support 1st-4th graders to become strong readers, develop confidence, and unleash their potential in the classroom and beyond.
Volunteer reading tutors work one-on-one with students to strengthen their skills and develop a love of reading. Literations students end the school year reading on average 1.5-grade levels higher. Literations is looking for volunteers to tutor at South Boston Edgerley Boys & Girls Club during the 2023-24 school year.
Join this upcoming information session to learn more about becoming a tutor and mentor for South Boston’s early elementary students. You can learn more here!
