Did you make a New Year’s resolution to make a difference? Still trying to figure out exactly how to get started? We can help!

With your help, we can serve more of Philadelphia’s youth through our free after-school tutoring program and weekend writing workshops. If you have free time on weekday afternoons, become a tutor and make a direct impact on students’ learning and achievement. Or, if weekends are more your thing, help out with our innovative writing workshops or teach one yourself!

Don’t take our word for it! Here are just a few of the things our volunteers say about us:

“What I really enjoy about tutoring is . . . just getting time to talk to each of the students. The kids just have so much to share.” —Alexa Peluso, volunteer

“When I first came here, the part that I was very attached to was just the people, the kids. It’s really priceless, and that’s why I keep coming back to Spells . . . for all the little moments of laughter and joy.” —Francisco Santoni, volunteer

“Spells is awesome! You should definitely come and volunteer. You won’t regret it. You’ll probably want to tell all your friends to come and volunteer, too.” —Carley Roche, volunteer
