DC Tutoring & Mentoring Initiative

We started our work because we saw a problem: two-thirds of students in DC read below their grade level. This is unacceptable and we refuse to idly stand by. There are more than 6 million adults in the DC Metro area, and if we all commit just an hour or two a week, every student will have the academic support they need. Our plan is simple: provide a tutor or mentor for every student reading below grade level or in need of additional academic or non-academic support in DC.
