Support for Students Tutoring Program to Launch this Fall

Beginning in October, Emmaus House volunteers will tutor first and second-grade students in reading at the Barack and Michelle Obama Academy (BAMO), an Atlanta public school in Peoplestown. While many students encountered learning loss during the pandemic, our most vulnerable students experienced the steepest setbacks. Therefore, we would like to help bridge the learning gap in our community with the “Support for Students” tutoring program. Tutors will work with students once or twice a week for approximately an hour, using lessons prepared by BAMO’s reading specialist.

If you would like to support Emmaus House children learning to read, please contact Ann Fowler at annfowler@emmaushouse.org or 404-808-1864. Volunteers are required to complete a child abuse mandatory reporter course and pass a background check.
