Volunteer reading tutors are needed more than ever in public schools throughout the Bay Area. In just one hour each week, you can help a struggling young reader become more confident and successful.

A Bit of Background About JCL:

JCL recruits, trains, and provides ongoing support to volunteer tutors who help struggling young readers become confident readers excited about books and prepared for lifelong learning. 

Following an initial, two-hour training, volunteers commit a minimum of one hour each week to one-to-one or small-group support. While we hope to return to in-person, school-based tutoring this year, we have also developed an online-tutoring model and new opportunities to tutor at child-and family-serving organizations. Thanks to the immense dedication of our tutors and our proven, relationship-centered model, JCL is uniquely positioned to help students learn and heal.
