Promise South Salt Lake
Description:
The afterschool program at Granite Park Junior High seeks to provide a safe and enjoyable environment where teens can improve their grades and participate in new activities. Granite Park has a student population of just under 600 students (roughly 90% qualify for free and/or reduced lunch) representing 65 countries and 41 spoken languages. Students in this program partake in one hour of homework help, one hour of an enrichment activity, and are offered free dinner each day. As part of this program, some students take part in our reading clinic where they work one on one with a volunteer tutor two times a week to improve literacy.<br /><br />Website: <a href="https://sslc.gov/176/Promise-SSL">Promise SSL | South Salt Lake, UT (sslc.gov)</a>
As a Volunteer, You Will-
Volunteers with the reading clinic at Granite Park will be working one on one with students two days a week to help them improve literacy through the implementation of a tested curriculum. They will receive on site training as to how this curriculum works. Volunteers will work with our Reading Clinic Coordinator to help plan lessons, ensure students are making progress, build positive relationships with students, and provide positive feedback to students to ensure they develop a love of reading. Most of the students in this program are reading 3-5 grades below their desired level, and this program has proven very influential in helping them achieve growth.
