Volunteer in the AASD

Tutoring Programs

The concept of our tutoring programs is simple: put an adult volunteer with a child for up to five 30-minute sessions each week.

Volunteers model the joy of reading and math, while supporting the child’s efforts to read and complete math problems independently.
