City Impact

The Impact Learning Center (ILC) at City Impact was featured yesterday in the Journal Star. You can read the article here. Southwood has about 20 people volunteering at the ILC each week. Volunteers, like the one featured in the Journal Star article, work one on one with a child to encourage them in developing their reading skills.

During this past school year I've been a reading tutor for a young girl in 1st grade. While her reading has improved significantly, what is even more fun for me is building a relationship with her. I've been able to be a small part of of her joys, successes, and even her challenges. I continue to pray that God will use me to make some kind of positive impact on her life.

Have you been a City Impact tutor? What have you experienced? What would you say to encourage others to consider volunteering in this way? Post a comment!
