eMentoring to build literacy and realize the potential of grade 3-5 students in low-income schools
In CricketTogether’s online program, eMentors—many of whom are older adults—provide the spark that motivates grade 3–5 students in low-income communities to develop literacy skills and self-confidence. Through a secure online letter exchange, eMentors and students are matched 1:1 to share their ideas about award-winning stories and articles, as well as news about their daily lives. Over the school year, a warm life-changing relationship develops for both partners.
Excited students read letters from their eMentors!
eMentors can volunteer any place, at any time.
