Thank you so much for this post--in Brooklyn Centre, we lost one of our amazing tutors Elise to a teaching position.  Born in Germany, she speaks German, Russian, Spanish and Arabic!  Fortunately, she will be working at Thomas Jefferson and Lincoln West High School and still plans to use our library for her own study time.

We hope to set up an informal program in our neighborhood Cleveland Public Library this fall--unless we are lucky to have another volunteer or an America READS tutor.  We also have had some luck just recruiting from our afterschool population.  John Hay Early College students and Benjamin Franklin students have been especially helpful working with the younger kids on their math studies.

I hope that the Church of the Covenant is able to tap into the population of students at CWRU.  I know it is hard for college students to think beyond their own studies, but we were lucky with Elise who volunteered her time in our neighborhood.
