Every child deserves an equal opportunity to learn

RCP supports students facing these challenges. Each dedicated volunteer is a consistent, caring presence in the lives of these children, working weekly in the same classroom with the same students throughout the school year. Our volunteers partner with Ravenswood teachers to help improve academic performance and social-emotional well being of the students.

We Provide Three Programs
Literacy TutoringIn partnership with teachers, volunteers work one-on-one with students each week on reading and writing using the same structured program the teachers use. This high-dosage tutoring approach is shown to have the biggest impact. We use a modified approach in TK to best support the youngest students.
|
Hands-On Science SupportVolunteers assist classroom teachers with weekly hands-on science labs, supporting students as they explore, experience and apply scientific concepts. Volunteers work with all students in the classroom during the lesson.
|
Mentoring Book ClubIn each 5th grade classroom, volunteers
assist in a 12-week program for selected students designed to foster academic and social-emotional growth. Volunteers guide students as they read together and discuss connections between the story and their own lives. |
