With the goal of helping improve reading and school success of young children, California State University, Fresno has developed the Fresno Reading Enrichment and Academic Development through Service (Fresno READS) project. This project recruits, trains, and places a minimum of 40 students as Fresno READS Mentors - tutors for children in Kindergarten through sixth grade.
This project will foster reading and school success skills in elementary students through one-on-one tutoring and mentoring, along with other associated activities. At the same time, the project will focus on providing meaningful academic, personal and professional development experiences for the Mentors/Tutors involved.
