The Big Idea

If you give kids resources, relationships,

and opportunities you can make a huge

impact.

You must be close enough to feel the

pain and frustration young people feel to

understand what they need and how to

help.

Once we have a better understanding of

the needs, we have to commit to get

things in place to respond.

The response shows young people that

they can rely on us and that we are

there for them.

In that relationship we can influence

their lives for long term sustainable

change.

Then they can change the world.

You need to

be consistent

and

commited.

We need 18 adults, who can give

at least 3 hours during the school

day. At least one day a week.

The shifts are Monday -Thursday

and can be done anytime from

8:30 AM to 2:30 PM.

Imagine for a moment.Imagine you are a high school student. You

are a freshman facing the Ohio Department

of Education Graduation Tests.

Your reading and Math levels are almost

five grade levels behind where you need to

be. You are fearful of looking stupid, so you

stay quiet in class falling further and further

behind. This issue is not just creating

problems in English. It carries over

to all the other classes, because

reading is a critical part of all class

work.

You are spending time in classes you

don't understand and are goofing off

so nobody will notice that you are

struggling. The time you spend in

class is wasted.

If only there were a way for you to

get the help you need in reading.

We need

people that

have a heart

for kids, are

patient, and

willing to help

us develop a

program that

works.

What does a tutor look like?

The truth is that any caring and commited

adult can be an effective tutor. Many young

people are struggling in math and english and

just need one on one or small group time to

be able to get stronger.

It is often a matter of being there for them to

keep working till they can figure it out.

It can be a very rewarding experience.
