Volunteer Tutors Make the Difference at CASP!

CASP provides 1:1 literacy tutoring to K-5th grade students in Cleveland County reading below grade level whose families have limited financial resources.

CASP tutoring positions are perfect for education majors, those who enjoy working with children, retired adults, high school students, Work Study award recipients, or anyone who wants an opportunity to give back to the community. Volunteer tutors are asked to commit to tutoring at least one hour twice each week between the hours of 3:30 pm and 6:00 p.m. for one semester. CASP provides training as well as the curriculum, resources, and teaching tools needed by tutors during their tutoring sessions. Tutors are matched with at-risk youth and serve as positive mentors while assisting students in strengthening their literacy skills.  By guiding students through the curriculum, reading aloud, word work, and playing games, tutors provide positive guidance that teaches students how to problem solve, improve study skills, and become successful readers.
