Parkway Elementary School, a St. Paul Public School, is seeking volunteer tutors. The students at Parkway are racially diverse, read below grade-level standards and lack financial resources. The tutoring program is sponsored through Americorp and Mayor Randy Kelly's Capital City Education Initiative's Read Read Read! Program. The main focus of the program is to have volunteer tutors work one-on-one with K-3 students who read below grade-level standards. Parkway seeks volunteer tutors any day of the week during school hours: 8:20-3:00, as well as after school hours on Tuesday and Thursday.

Training will be provided by the Minnesota Literacy Council which will be a three-hour training session on literacy tutoring. The training session will be financially covered through the Mayor's office. Parkway seeks a minimum commitment of an hour to 1/2 an hour per week. This is a great opportunity to help serve the community.

If you are interested, please contact David Hippee, Capital City Education Initiative volunteer/recruiter coordinator, at 763-242-3455 or at David.Hippee@ci.stpaul.mn.us
