Senior Corps Volunteers

Los Angeles, CA
Encore.org visited an education center run by Proyecto Pastoral, in a working-class neighborhood of Los Angeles, where a dedicated band of Senior Corps tutors work 15 to 40 hours a week with eager preschoolers – kids who could otherwise fall behind in school readiness.Jumpstart logo
The grandparents are trained by our friends at the nonprofit Jumpstart, to implement a preschool language and literacy curriculum.
