ABOUT EDUCATION CONNECTION

A few years ago, the church community asked city leaders what we could do to make a lasting impact in our city. The answer was simple: help them fight illiteracy and school dropout rates.In the 2018-19 school year,  more than 1240 volunteers served 11 school districts across Central Texas, sitting down with elementary children each week for 30 minutes to read one-on-one. With the program growing rapidly and with more and more children in need of special attention, there’s a place for you to make a difference in a child’s life and education. Consider investing just 30 minutes a week in a school near you, and bless the life of a child.

Education Connection volunteer registration for 2019-20 is now open. To become an Education Connection volunteer, please complete the registration Step 1 HERE.
