Our flagship tutor-mentor program has largely targeted Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS) elementary-aged children who are at least one grade-level behind in reading by pairing students one-on-one with a volunteer tutor-mentor. Our Early Literacy Program (ELP) is designed to help at-risk kindergarten and/or first/second-grade students to read on grade level each year of the program, via high-dosage tutoring received at after-school sites during the school year.
