Volunteer Opportunity--Tubman Elementary

If you are interested in this volunteer opportunity, email: albarr@gmail.com or click on the link below.


Working together, we have made a significant impact. Through the hard work of volunteers, teachers, and students, the percentage of Tubman students proficient in reading increased for the second year in a row (while the average DC elementary school actually moved backwards on this measure). In addition, DC-CAS results indicate that Tubman students who participated in Reading All-Stars last year were twice as likely to become proficient in reading as their peers who did not participate. So our involvement truly made a difference.


However, there is still so much work left to do. There are still far too many kids – both at Tubman and across the city – that cannot read at grade level. So we’ll be back at Tubman this fall, working harder than ever, to help every student there reach proficiency in reading. It’s a huge challenge, but it’s also an opportunity to make a huge difference. Can you volunteer this fall to make sure every Tubman student that needs help receives it?
