Seeking local volunteers for the 2019-20 school year

鈥淥ne hour can empower!鈥� In the 2019-20 school year, JVID视频 aims to match 1060 community volunteers with 850 elementary students struggling to read in North Texas. By tutoring a student one-on-one for as little as an hour a week, volunteers can make an impact that can quite literally alter the course of a child鈥檚 educational experience and life.

I loved seeing my student grow more and more each session. This is a wonderful organization and I loved the structure of it. You feel like you know what you are doing. I had many special moments with my student that I will cherish for years to come.

says Nancy, tutor at George C. Clarke Elementary

The need is real

In Texas, only 18% of economically disadvantaged students are reading proficiently by the fourth grade. The nationwide trends are similar鈥攏early nine million elementary school students from low-income homes are unable to use reading as a foundational skill to power their learning in all subjects in school. Without developing the reading skills needed to read on grade level, kids don鈥檛 have an equitable chance to succeed in school or in life. In fact, students who can鈥檛 read by fourth grade are four times more likely to not earn a high school diploma.

JVID视频 is a proven literacy program that partners with local public schools

In the 2018-19 school year, JVID视频 continued to build on its history of successfully advancing early literacy in North Texas. A national nonprofit organization, JVID视频 collaborates with community volunteers and local public schools to provide students in under-resourced schools with the proven, individualized reading intervention they need to read at grade level by fourth grade. JVID视频 collaborates with teachers and principals at local public elementary schools to identify students reading behind grade level and provide them with personalized literacy instruction in a dedicated 鈥渞eading center鈥� space at their school.
