Many of our elementary and middle school students have difficulty obtaining the reading and math skills they need to succeed. If these students don’t learn these skills, they continue to struggle as they move through high school, and their chances of going on to college greatly diminish. This problem is magnified for students who come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

You can help these students by becoming a Rising Stars volunteer tutor!

Rising Stars works with schools in the Milwaukee area by offering tutoring to students from K4 through eighth grade. Tutors learn and support the methods of their teacher partners and offer monitoring that maximizes a student’s time on a task. Tutors provide one-on-one or small group attention, one to two days per week for one to two hours at a time. Tutoring sessions typically occur during the school day and are tailored to the individual learning styles of students and their levels of understanding.
