Make a difference in a child's life with the Jewish Coalition for Literacy
The Jewish Coalition for Literacy (JCL) matches volunteer tutors from all backgrounds with young readers in grades K-5 attending Bay Area public schools for in-person tutoring.
Even before the pandemic, nearly three out of four children who complete third grade in California public schools struggled to read at grade level. Now, they need your help even more to bounce back from three years of massive educational and societal disruption.
Summer and fall training dates are as follows:
- Wednesday, August 24, 10:00 AM– 12:00 PM
- Tuesday, September 20, 3:30–5:30 PM
- Thursday, October 27, 3:30-5:30 PM
- Wednesday, November 16, 10:00 AM-12:00 PM
Sign up for a free, online tutor-training workshop.
We invite people ages 14 and up to take part in this rewarding social justice opportunity. You will make a difference in a child’s life by committing one hour each week during the school year.
If you’re unable to tutor, please consider making a donation to support this important work.

Beth Am is a JCL partner organization.
