As part of United Way’s commitment to raise literacy level in collaboration with the Grand Rapids Public Schools, our K – 12 literacy programs, including FACTS, will come under the name Schools of Hope.

Schools of Hope schools provide all the materials for tutors. During times tutors are present, all are provided direct supervision by Schools of Hope coordinators to answer any questions and to guide tutors. Most provide a separate room designated specifically for Schools of Hope.

One Child.  30 Minutes.  Once a Week.

In just 30 minutes a week, volunteers can transform a child's life. Volunteer reading tutors are matched with children at 15 schools in Grand Rapids. 

They read together for 30 minutes each week during the school year.
