Tutoring/Mentoring
Tutors are specifically matched with a child who needs a little extra boost in their reading skills. This is targeted to help the child overcome the reading proficiency achievement gap. These tutors meet with their student once a week for thirty to forty-five minutes at the school campus, but this time together provides even more benefit than just tutoring. It forms a mentoring relationship, and this positive relationship building has the power to help a child grow confidence, and their increasing success in learning to read also grows their academic self-esteem.
After School 180 Club
180 Club provides a unique opportunity for reaching school children. The club takes place at the school, and it lasts for approximately one hour. The focus is to build the child’s self-esteem through an emphasis on their immeasurable worth to God. We teach applicable life lessons, sing songs, play games, and actively listen to the kids.
Commitments of a Team Member
Children gain confidence to close the academic achievement gap and emotional gap through the work of our team, but growth does not happen overnight. It takes trust, and the only way to build that trust is by dedicating the time necessary to build it. That is why trust is a core value at Minding the Gap, and it is why we ask for a twofold commitment from all of our volunteers: We ask for a full school year commitment (August thru May) We ask team members to invest one hour per week
