Each year approximately 27,000 children, adolescents and adults benefit from our 10 direct service programs. We help young children enter kindergarten with essential school readiness skills. We tutor elementary school age students to help them improve their reading skills. We mentor adolescents and young adults so that they will stay in school, graduate on time and be prepared for further education or to enter the workforce.
