Oasis Tutoring
Elrod participated in the Oasis Inter-Generational Tutoring Program, which pairs trained, older adult volunteers with children in 1st and 2nd grade who would benefit from a one-on-one session, at least once a week, to build reading and language skills along with confidence and self-esteem.
Highlights of the Program
The program, which provides reading and writing, and talking activities, was developed by OASIS, a national non-profit organization offering programs in the arts, humanities, technology, wellness and volunteer service for adults who want to be productively involved in their community.
