SCHOOLS WHERE ALL THRIVE PROGRAM (SWAT)

A new program operating under the umbrella of the RSVP is designed to place older adult volunteers within the school districts of Adams County. These volunteers work with groups of students who struggle with reading, providing one-on-one help in addition to group learning activities. Kids who need help with their literacy skills receive a caring mentor who helps them learn how to succeed. The first year of the program (school year 2010 - 2011) proved to be very popular among both students and educators, and the program is expanding into more schools for the start of the 2011 - 2012 school year.
