Volunteer your time to be a tutor – 18 hours of training is all it takes to become a tutor and start on one of the most rewarding adventures you can imagine. The ULA student waiting list has reached 100! This means all these folks are waiting patiently to meet a tutor and get started on building their reading, writing and conversational skills. We really need volunteers.
Scrabble Tournament
From Ulster Literacy Association:
Good news for students on the Ulster Literacy Association waiting list! Eleven will soon be matched with a one-to-one tutor from ULA’s tutor training program. Enrollment in the program was greatly boosted by UlsterCorps Volunteers and the Martin Luther King Day Call to Service. Each tutor is then matched with an adult learner who wants to improve reading and writing skills.

The mission of the Center for Creative Education is to create a better world by nurturing and empowering youth and community through the arts. CCE was established as a non-profit organization in 1989 and launched its first youth arts education program in Kingston, New York in 1997. The following year CCE established the Stone Ridge Center for the Arts (SRCA) as a community center, performance space, and administrative headquarters. Their new Kingston complex has a 1300 square foot dance studio, a percussion studio, homework and tutoring center, and a computer music lab that is being developed in collaboration with the Kingston School District’s Department of Fine Arts and Enrichment. This lab will have the equipment to offer courses currently unavailable at the high school and will provide training to both students and District staff. Volunteers needed for office help, clean-up, and event assistance.
