Volunteer Literacy Mentor

Center for Success Network, a nonprofit organization committed to uniting community and literacy to empower students in their educational journeys.

At Center for Success Network, our mission is to strengthen the community's relationship with literacy and help students thrive academically through safe, enriching learning environments. We provide free programming for elementary students located in the Detroit area, and we are currently seeking volunteer mentors to support our students through meaningful one-on-one relationships for the upcoming school year. 

Our mentors meet weekly with the same elementary student and focus on literacy, learning, and relationship-building. Together, mentors and students work on reading, writing, and other literacy-based activities while building confidence and fostering a love of learning.

This opportunity can be especially beneficial for college students, as it allows them to:

• Earn volunteer or community service hours
• Build leadership, communication, and mentoring skills
• Strengthen college, scholarship, graduate school, and job applications
• Gain hands-on experience working directly with students
• Make a lasting impact on a young person's life

Many of our mentors are students pursuing degrees in education, social work, psychology, nonprofit management, and related fields, but students from all majors are welcome and encouraged to participate.

We would be thrilled to welcome you as mentors in supporting literacy and student success!
