The Youth Literacy Program (YLP) was developed with the goal of increasing elementary students reading proficiency levels by creating an opportunity for children of the East Athens community to receive direct literacy support within their own community. YLP provides students with an after school program located in the community focused and dedicated to helping students engage in literary development and academic growth.
Volunteers who sign up to tutor will engage with students 1:1 once a week to help them meet the grade reading proficiency levels as well as develop relationships with the youth and encourage them to be successful in every aspect of their life!
