Excellence Begins With Experience Corps

In 2006, an exciting program was launched  in Tempe School District 3, a program where adults aged 50 and older work with first, second and third grade students one-on-one or in small groups to improve their literacy skills and self-confidence.  The tutors are community members who have expressed an interest and willingness to make a difference in our children’s lives.  Since the program began, tutors have logged more than 35,0000 hours helping more than 2,000 children in nine Tempe Elementary School District schools.  This Excellence Begins With Me video celebrated this wonderful program—AARP Experience Corps Tempe—and the 78 incredible volunteers who truly make a difference for our children.
