The Office of Financial Aid administers the America Reads Program on the Rutgers Camden campus. The Leap Academy, a small charter school, and the Raphael Cordero Molina Elementary School. Both schools are within walking distance of campus.
Tutors work with individual or small groups of children.
The classroom teacher works with the tutor to identify the kind of help each child should receive. Community volunteers provide general on site supervision. Training is done at the schools by the teachers at the start of the fall and spring semesters. Tutor meetings are scheduled monthly. An annual one-day retreat, sponsored in part by A.C.E., offers an opportunity for the tutors to get away for a little fun.
