Experience Corps

Looking for a few good Men and Women age 50+
to help change a child’s life 

 The City of Tempe has been selected as one of the newest communities to host Experience Corps, a nationally recognized literacy program. Join a corps of more than 2,000 volunteers in 22 cities nationwide who are making a significant impact in their communities. Volunteers provide one-on-one reading tutoring to struggling students in kindergarten through third grade. Experience Corps volunteers work in seven Tempe elementary schools.

Volunteers do not need special skills just a willingness to share their experience, time and patience. Comprehensive training, excellent support services and an orientation are provided. Volunteers need to be able to commit to an entire school year. For more information, call Peggy Goldberg at (480) 858-2465 or email at peggy_goldberg@tempe.gov . Learn more about Experience Corps nationally at www.experiencecorps.org.
