TO THE EDITOR:
None of us can say we reached Carolina alone. Along the way, parents, friends, teachers and advisers helped us get where we are today. But not every high school student has access to the same support. Durham, Raleigh and Chapel Hill schools are full of students with the ability, but not the resources, to succeed academically.
That’s why UNC’s chapter of the national college-access program Upward Bound needs you to tutor low-income and at-risk high school students from across the Triangle. Volunteer tutors can participate in Upward Bound’s after-school sessions or the monthly Saturday Enrichment Academy.
They help students who have been selected to participate in the Upward Bound program, tutoring them in history, math, English, foreign languages and more. Each hour you volunteer brings a student one step closer to his or her dreams. Tutors are constantly needed, so contact Upward Bound’s Academic Adviser, Donovan Livingston, any time at 919-843-4686 or dlivingston@unc.edu.
