Expanding literacy access in Tulsa
Âé¶¹·¬Íâ became part of the Tulsa educational landscape in 2013, when we first began placing community volunteers in under-resourced schools to help kids master basic reading skills. Our one-on-one tutoring model empowers students to succeed in reading and life by engaging community volunteers to provide individualized, personal attention to each student in our program.
