Untitled Document About DC Reads DC Reads is an umbrella of collaborative off-campus literacy programs that provide quality tutoring to children in need. The reasons are many. Too many children in our nation's capital city simply cannot read. Your participation as a tutor can help to transofrm their lives in countless ways. These communities are vibrant, consisting of diverse populations and are constantly evolving.
Tutors work off-campus in public schools or community centers.
Each site is different. Other programs expect that students will serve as teaching assistants or classroom aides. Most program sites are accessible by public transportation, but many tutors travel in groups using university or program vehicles. Apply early for the best range of available opportunities and training dates to chose from. View the section for Federal Work-Study students for details.
