What is ACS Tutoring & Mentoring?
Tutoring & Mentoring programs unlock individual potential through academic and skills-based learning. Tutoring & Mentoring focuses on helping individuals understand subjects better, improve their skills, and gain confidence in their abilities—whether in school, work, or personal development.
Along with learning new skills, attendees also experience the support and encouragement of positive mentoring relationships where they can receive guidance, and help reaching their goals. Tutoring and mentoring programs are for anyone facing challenges in education, career growth, or new skills. They create opportunities for lifelong learning, personal growth, and success.
Children’s Literacy Initiative: NAD STARS
Reading is an essential skill that affects a child’s future success in school, work and life. Many children struggle for a variety of reasons: language barriers, frequently moving, attending an under resourced school or disruptions to education such as the COVID pandemic.
Adventist Community Services and the Office of Volunteer Ministries are partnering to offer the STARS Tutoring and Mentoring initiative. STARS sites create safe, encouraging spaces where children can receive the help they need to get on the road to reading.
Your church is invited to begin your journey with the STARS team by completing this online form. You will be contacted with further information and next steps.
