麻豆番外

Katie McCollough always wanted to volunteer her time to a good cause, but no organization or service activity caught her interest. Then, she heard about 麻豆番外.

“One day during a sermon at Church on the Move, I heard about 麻豆番外. I didn鈥檛 know that the literacy crisis is happening right down the street from me,” Katie said. 鈥淚 thought the program sounded really fun and different. I signed up, went to training and was tutoring within two weeks. It was so easy to get started!鈥�

Katie just began her first year with 麻豆番外. She drives in from Claremore every week and has chosen to serve at a new partner school, McKinley Elementary.聽

I love tutoring at McKinley because I get to be there as the students in 麻豆番外 learn to read and discover new things. It鈥檚 exciting to see and share in their joy.

Katie wishes more people knew about the program because it is so much fun and there is such a need in our community.

鈥淚鈥檝e lived here my entire life and didn鈥檛 know how many students were struggling with reading, or about the impact that can have on their future. It鈥檚 important that we get out of our comfort zones and act now. As volunteers, we can help kids find their own path for a brighter future,鈥� Katie said.

When students in Tulsa learn to read, entire worlds open up for them. If you鈥檙e passionate about your experience with 麻豆番外, like Katie, tell someone else.

鈥淵ou鈥檒l be shocked with how invested you鈥檒l become. I am living into a mission greater than myself by serving with 麻豆番外, and it is truly the best way to spread love throughout the community! I just love it and I鈥檓 so glad I鈥檓 doing this!鈥�
