About this organization
Mission
For fifteen years, Aspire has been the Bay Area’s leader in effective supplemental education programming. By gathering a small community of educators stocked with content expertise and emotional intelligence, Aspire has been able to promise - and deliver - real results to thousands of Bay Area students. In our fifteen years, we’ve served over 15,400 students Through our transformative tutoring program, we empower our students with the skills to become independent, active learners. Then we invite them to be trained in social-emotional skills and then mentor a younger student in literacy through Community Reading Buddies.
About
Programmed tutoring in local schools and other NGOs. Aspire Education Project was founded as a nonprofit in the fall of 2005 in order to advance educational equity in the Bay Area. We bring high-quality tutoring and personalized learning to students who do not have ready access to those services. During the school year, we provide tutoring, mentoring, and standardized test preparation to students in their homes, at after-school centers, and in partnership with schools and other organizations. In the summers, we flip the equation and empower teens to become teachers themselves, bringing one-on-one reading relationships to Oakland's youngest and most vulnerable via the Community Reading Buddies program (CRB). Through CRB, over 200 teens become trained literacy instructors for our community's youngest and most at-risk readers: preK - 3rd graders from low-income families and disadvantaged backgrounds. In pairs, teens and their "buddies" read and connect all summer, forming relationships and building skills critical for success in school. As with all of our programming, Community Reading Buddies nurtures both educational equity and community bonds.
