Wright to Read held an event for Alexandria Mentoring Month last Thursday. Those interested in mentoring came to the Wright to Read office in Old Town to eat snacks, talk to program staff, and hear from a current mentor. Wright to Read was founded in 1979 by Frank and Betty Wright, and has been connecting caring volunteers with Alexandria students ever since. Tutor/mentors meet with students once a week to work on literacy. Wright to Read plans a weekend activity once a month for mentors and mentees to go on. There are currently over 100 students being served by Wright to Read. Some have been with their tutor/mentor for a decade!
Wright to Read holds an orientation session once a month. For those interested, start your application here.
