Community Literacy Corps

Service Learning

 

Community Literacy Corps is a service-learning partnership with the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid. Students enrolled in the federal work study program are hired to serve as reading and math tutors to children in Montgomery County and Roanoke City elementary schools. The Literacy Corps also sponsors Reading Day in March for children in grades K-2, and Winter Festival in December for children in grades 3-5. Literacy Corps tutors are required to attend a day-long orientation at the start of the school year, and weekly training sessions thereafter. Only students approved for federal work study funding may apply to be Literacy Corps tutors.
