“Parentis Foundation is a non-profit educational resource bringing together older adult volunteer tutors and young learners to offer mentorship and educational growth.
Academic success is the key to a better future. However, not all children have access to the resources and educational opportunities that they need. Reading and literacy skills are essential to ensure improved learning and build positive attitudes towards education.
Our experienced and skilled volunteers apply their lifetime of knowledge to help young learners achieve grade level proficiency.
Volunteer tutors age 50+ benefit from ongoing training and support that strengthens their natural mentoring abilities, builds their confidence, and fosters a sense of purpose that helps ensure their success as tutors – and the success of the children as readers.”
