A Better Future

Interrupted learning from the pandemic has left a significant impact on our school-age children. 

The Wake County School System has partnered with Helps Education Fund, the YMCA of the Triangle and many other youth-serving organizations in Wake County to provide structured, intense, one-on-one tutoring for students to improve reading fluency and confidence, and accelerate learning.

Volunteer tutors will use HELPS program, a tutoring model backed by research and implemented across North Carolina. 

Together, and with your help, we will coordinate a coalition of community organizations and volunteers to tutor students and change their trajectory.

HELPS

Helping Early Literacy with Practice Strategies

The main goals of HELPS are to strengthen a student’s reading fluency and confidence as a reader. As students improve reading fluency, they are better able to focus on and improve other important reading skills, including comprehension.
