For a third straight year, alumni across the country will engage in their communities during Davidson Volunteer Week, April 21-30, 2017. Join Charlotte Service Chair Robert Koch '04 and alumni, parents and friends for one or more of the following projects.
Augustine Literacy Project Service Project
Thursday, April 27, 2017 10- 11 a.m.
Augustine Literacy Project Sterling Elementary Media Center 9601 China Grove Church Rd. Pineville, NC 28134 Click here for map and directions.
Davidson alumni will spend one hour learning about the work of Augustine Literacy Project-Charlotte in 17 CMS elementary schools. Augustine Literacy Project's mission is to improve the reading, writing, and spelling skills of low-income students who struggle with literacy by providing free, long-term one-on-one instruction from highly trained volunteer tutors. Augustine tutors, primarily serving 1st and 2nd graders, use a sequential, research-based, multi-sensory approach that gets results. Potential tutors, donors and advocates are welcome, as well as non-alum friends (ages 18+). This is an information session, not a training session, and no previous teach experience is necessary. Join Davidson alumni who are currently involved: Tom Caldwell '68, Kelly Reed Keeling '91, Koren Sickles Crawford '91, Sally Gantt Davis '94, and Natalie Bombard Akin '05.
