AARP Foundation Experience Corps Volunteer Tutor Program

AARP Foundation Experience Corps Volunteer Tutor Program

AARP Foundation Experience Corps is a proven inter-generational volunteer-based tutoring program that helps children become great readers by the end of third grade. We inspire and empower adults 50 and older to serve in their community and disrupt the cycle of poverty by making a lasting difference in the lives of America’s most vulnerable children. By helping young students become better readers, Experience Corps seeks to ensure a lasting legacy of strong futures, supported schools, and empowered volunteers.
