Learning Leaders

Learning Leaders is NYC’s largest and most experienced organization dedicated to engaging families and communities to support student success. Our programs are proven to enhance student achievement by providing individualized tutoring and assistance to schools and increasing parents’ ability to foster their children’s education. Learning Leaders recruits, trains and supports up to 6,000 school volunteers who work with over 180,000 students in over 350 schools throughout the five boroughs. For more than 50 years, Learning Leaders has helped students succeed by providing individualized instructional support through the implementation of the Fundamental Program, essentially the one-on-one tutoring model. This program establishes volunteers to assist with reading, writing, ESL, math and other academic activities at the elementary and middle school level, as well as non-instructional aid such as general office and library assistance. Expanding on the Fundamental tutoring program, Learning Leaders developed enrichment programs that can supplement a student’s education beyond basic academic support.
