Healthy Cities Tutoring

All Are Invited to our Annual Volunteer Recognition Reception!

Please join us to celebrate our 2022-2023 volunteers! This year, we matched 398 student/tutor pairs. That’s 398 students and volunteers meeting weekly across Redwood City and San Carlos schools, on campus and at public libraries; 398 families receiving support from their community; 14 schools and dozens of classrooms benefitting from better student engagement and higher academic achievement; local communities and residents enjoying greater feelings of well-being because they are contributing to an amazing and affirming cause. The impact of our program is far-reaching and overwhelmingly positive – our students, their families, educators and volunteers tell us so.

We hope you’ll RSVP to attend and celebrate our remarkable volunteers and the incredible results they make possible.

Thank you for a Perfect Perfect Pairings!

It was delightful to see so many friendly faces in person on Sunday at Perfect Pairings. Thank you for your generosity and good cheer during our event, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! We raised $33,530 towards our Fund-A-Pair goal!

It’s incredible and humbling to know you support our mission and the difference our volunteers make.

At the new and unique Skyway Center we celebrated the positive impact Healthy Cities volunteers make when they support local students. Hundreds of children and families receive individualized help; educators and administrators at 15 schools in Redwood City and San Carlos witness increased academic achievement, engagement in learning and enhanced self esteem; and, communities benefit from residents who step up and help children in local school districts.
