Open a Door - Be a Children's Tutor

Many children in Minnesota are reading below grade level and are at-risk for academic failure. However, research shows that along with support from teachers and parents, early intervention by well-prepared volunteer tutors can have a significant impact on a child’s academic gain and self-confidence.

Help a child build good literacy skills and open the door to a brighter future. Become a children’s tutor. Here’s how:

Get Ready with Confidence

Attend the ABCs of Reading training to get started. This training is great for tutors currently volunteering, as well as those preparing to begin a volunteer opportunity. For training dates and further information, click below.
