AARP Experience Corps

The City of Tempe has been selected as one of the newest communities to host Experience Corps, a nationally recognized literacy program. Join a corps of more than 2,000 volunteers in 22 cities nationwide who are making a significant impact in their communities. Volunteers provide one-on-one reading tutoring to struggling students in first through third grade. Experience Corps volunteers work in seven Tempe elementary schools.


Volunteers do not need special skills just a willingness to share their experience, time and patience. Comprehensive training, excellent support services and an orientation are provided. Volunteers need to be able to commit to an entire school year. For more information, call Rebecca Bond at (480) 858-2464 or email at rebecca_bond@tempe.gov.
