Healthy Cities tutoring provided tutors for 469 students at 11 schools in San Carlos and Redwood City during the 2017-2018 school year. Additional tutors are needed again this year to meet the need.

Volunteers range in age from 14-94 and no prior tutoring experience is needed – just an interest in helping a child for 45 minutes once a week. Scheduling is flexible, before, during or after school.
