The MLK Tutoring Center has been going on for more than 20 years. Through this program every student K-2nd grade meets with a volunteer tutor for reading. The program started with a few dedicated volunteers and now continues to be a well kept GR secret. There is a need for more volunteers. We talk to Maryann Venskus about the program, its benefits, and why you should volunteer.
