Early Foundations is our tutoring and mentorship program helping K-6 students build strong reading and math skills, and the confidence to match. Launching in 2027 at Hairston Crossing Library.
Grades we will serve, ages 5 to 11
Program launches in the first quarter
Always free for every family
Consistent weekly sessions at Hairston Crossing Library, where students get focused, patient help with reading and math.
Each child is paired with a caring tutor and mentor who supports their growth, encourages them, and celebrates their progress.
A structured, age-appropriate curriculum built around the foundational skills, and the critical thinking, young learners need most.
Here is what Early Foundations looks like as we launch in 2027.

Early Foundations grew from a simple pilot. We tutored two young students once a week for 90 days, and saw firsthand the difference that consistent, caring support can make. Encouraged by those results, we are formalizing and expanding the program so more children can get the strong start they deserve. We are finalizing our curriculum by the end of 2026, ready to welcome our first full cohort in 2027.
Early Foundations only works because our community shows up. Here is how you can be part of it:
Caring adults to help students with reading, math, and confidence.
K-6 students who could use extra support and encouragement.
Books, workbooks, and materials that make learning possible.
Your support brings tutoring, mentorship, and materials to young learners who need it most. Volunteer your time or give toward the program.
